Broad spectrum nucleoside antibiotic. Inhibits protein synthesis in prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. Suitable for selection of cells carrying plasmids conferring blasticidin resistance. Blasticidin S inhibits hydrolysis of peptidyl-tRNA induced by release factors. It enhances the binding of…

Bleomycin Sulfate is an atineoplastic antibiotic. A mixture of cytotonic glycopeptide antibiotics which reacts with DNA and causes strand scission; they have also been shown to have a type of oxygen transferase activity. Bleomycin A2 is the main component of the bleomycin employed clinically.…

The sulfates of Bleomycin are a mixture of basic antineoplastic antibiotics produced by glycopeptide Streptomyces verticullus. Bleomycin binds to DNA and causes strand scissions.

Bleomycin is a mixture of basic antineoplastic antibiotics produced by glycopeptide produced by Streptomyces verticullus. Bleomycin binds to DNA and causes strand breaks. Bleomycin also inhibits incorporation thymidine into DNA strands. DNA cleavage by bleomycin depends on oxygen and metal ions, at…
