Additionnal Information
Puromycin (CL13900, Puromycine) is an antibiotic, analog of the 3' end of aminoacyl-tRNA and an inhibitor of protein synthesis that mimics tyrosyl-tRNA, causing premature termination of translation. It blocks translation by labeling and releasing elongating polypeptide chains from ribosomes and has been widely used in molecular biology research.
