Ordering Information

Biological Activity

Puromycin Dihydrochloride is an aminonucleoside antibiotic derived from Streptomyces alboniger that functions as a broad-spectrum inhibitor of protein synthesis. It acts as a structural analog of the 3' end of aminoacyl-tRNA, incorporating into the C-terminus of elongating nascent polypeptide chains to cause premature translation termination. This disruption of ribosomal translation prevents polypeptide elongation and inhibits cellular growth in prokaryotic and eukaryotic systems.

FAQ
Q: Why does a DMSO stock precipitate in media/saline?
A: It is caused by unheated aqueous media (supersaturation), local solvent shock, or incorrect mixing sequence.
How to fix it?
  • Preheat media/saline to 37°C.
  • Mix rapidly (pipette/vortex) upon addition.
  • For complex mixes, always add the aqueous phase last.
  • Re-dissolve minor precipitates with a 37°C water bath and sonication (≤30 min).
