General Description

• Kanamycin monosulfate is the sulfate salt form of kanamycin A

• It was isolated from Streptomyces kanamyceticus

• This compound inhibits translocation during protein biosynthesis. It binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit, causing misreading of the mRNA sequence

Application

• Kanamycin monosulfate shows antibacterial activity. It is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as Mycoplasma species

• This compound is also involved in translating prokaryotic ribosomes

• In molecular biology experiments, it is commonly used to select and isolate transformants expressing the kanamycin resistance gene, and plants that have the NPT II (APH3) gene incorporated
