General Descriptionnn• Kanamycin monosulfate is the sulfate salt form of kanamycin Ann• It was isolated from Streptomyces kanamyceticusnn• This compound inhibits translocation during protein biosynthesis. It binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit, causing misreading of the mRNA sequencennApplicationnn• Kanamycin monosulfate shows antibacterial activity. It is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, as well as Mycoplasma speciesnn• This compound is also involved in translating prokaryotic ribosomesnn• In molecular biology experiments, it is commonly used to select and isolate transformants expressing the kanamycin resistance gene, and plants that have the NPT II (APH3) gene incorporated
