Kanamycin B, EvoPure® is a highly purified form of Kanamycin B. Kanamycin B is a minor component of the Kanamycin complex, along with C, with Kanamycin A being the major component.
Kanamycn B is a close structural analog of DAA2 and it has an unmethylated 3'-amino group so it can be tested as a surrogate substrate for 3’-deamination.
Kanamycin is a semi-synthetic, broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic. Kanamycin was isolated from the soil bacterium Streptomyces kanamyceticus in 1957 by Hamao Umezawa at the institute of Microbial Chemistry (Tokyo). Kanamycin inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria and Mycoplasma. It is used to select for transformants (bacteria, fungi, plant, mammalian) which have been successfully transformed with a plasmid containing a Kanamycin resistance gene.
Kanamycin B, EvoPure® is soluble in DMSO.
We also offer:
- Kanamycin Sulfate (K008)
- Kanamycin Acid Sulfate, BP (K004)
- Kanamycin Acid Sulfate, EP (K029)
- Kanamycin A Sulfate, EvoPure® (K013)
EvoPure® products are available as highly purified fractions. Each compound is fully characterized by spectral analysis and a comprehensive C of A is provided which includes HPLC, MS, HNMR and FTIR data.
