Hygromycin B research grade (25965-GRP)

Aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits growth of procaryotic micro-organisms (bacteria), eukaryotic microorganisms (yeasts) and mammalian cells.Inhibits protein synthesis at translocation step; causes misreading of mRNA. A gene from E. coli encoding resistance to hygromycin B can be isolated and cloned by recombinant DNA technology. It is useful for the identification or selection of recombinant clones in various cell types.
