Experimental

  • target organism: bacteria, mammalian cells
  • stock solution: 10mg/ml in water
  • working solution: 10-50µg/ml (stable at RT for 5days)

Description

  • mode of action: binds to ribosomal components and inhibits protein synthesis.
  • mode of resistance: neo/kan resistance gene is an aminoglycoside 3'-phosphotransferase, which inactivates G418, neomycin, and kanamycin by phosphorylation.
