Biological Activity for Viomycin

Viomycin is a member of the tuberactinomycin family of antibiotics. Inhibits group I intron splicing and prokaryotic protein synthesis. Freezes bacterial ribosomes in either the pre- or post-translational state. Facilitates trans-cleavage of the Neurospora VS ribozyme.

Licensing Information

Sold for research purposes under agreement from Pfizer Inc.
