Kanamycin Monosulfate 50 mg/mL Solution

Kanamycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic isolated fromStreptomyces kanamyceticus. It is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria as well asMycoplasmaspecies. Kanamycin is commonly used to select for bacteria that have been transformed with a kanamycin-resistant gene and plant tissues that have theNPT II (APH3) gene incorporated in them. Kanamycin is very soluble in aqueous solution and is typically used in concentrations of 50-100 µg/ml.Aminoglycoside antibiotics are composed of amino groups attached to glycosides. They bind the 30s ribosomal subunit, causing misreading of the mRNA sequence and inhibition of translocation. Consequently, protein synthesis is inhibited.GoldBio’s antibiotic solutions are provided ready to use.Product Specifications:Kanamycin Monosulfate in H2O (50 mg/mL Premade Solution, 0.2 µm Sterile Filtered) MOLECULAR BIOLOGY GRADEFormula: C18H36N4O11· H2SO4MW: 582.58 g/mol
