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.

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).

Pre-aliquoted for Longevity: Solid-state aliquots offer longer shelf life compared to stock solutions.
