Description

Application
Blasticidin S Hydrochloride is widely used in molecular biology as a selective agent in cell culture to isolate genetically engineered cells that carry blasticidin resistance genes.

Purpose
Its purpose is to inhibit protein synthesis in susceptible cells thereby allowing only resistant cells to survive which makes it valuable for gene expression and recombinant DNA experiments.

General Description
Blasticidin S Hydrochloride is a nucleoside antibiotic derived from Streptomyces species that interferes with peptide bond formation during translation effectively blocking protein synthesis in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
