Hygromycin B, Thermo Scientific Chemicals PROMO
Description
General Description
- Hygromycin is an aminoglycosidic compound that shows antibiotic activity. It is produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus
- Hygromycin acts against both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, having the ability to inhibit protein synthesis. It also stabilizes the transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA)-ribosomal acceptor site, thereby inhibiting translocation. This compound prevents ribosome translocation during translation elongation by binding the 30S rRNA proximal to the ribosomal E, P, and A sites
Application
- In clinical and plant research, this compound can be used as a marker to select and maintain prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells containing the hygromycin resistance gene
- Hygromycin also presents an anthelmintic activity against nematode parasites of chickens
