Cycloheximide A EvoPure® C123-1G

产品介绍

Cycloheximide A, EvoPure® is a highly purified (≥99.0) form of Cycloheximide A, the active compound in standard grade Cycloheximide.  Cycloheximide is a glutarimide antibiotic and natural fungicide isolated from Streptomyces griseus and a protein synthesis inhibitor in eukaryotic cells.  It was discovered by Alma Whiffen-Barksdale of Upjohn Company in 1946.  The compound is routinely used as a selection agent in several types of isolation media.  Cycloheximide can be used as a tool in molecular biology for ribosome profiling/translational profiling to understand the complexity of translation initiation. It cna be used to study protein syntheesis, expression and degradation, and determine the half-life of proteins, or in in chase experiments to analyze protein degradation.
