Description
Dihydrostreptomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic targeting gram-positive bacteria and Mycobacterium species. It is a derivative of streptomycin and commonly used to study aminoglycoside uptake. Dihydrostreptomycin sulfate is freely soluble in aqueous solution.
Aminoglycoside antibiotics are composed of amino groups attached to glycosides. They bind the 30s ribosomal subunit, causing misreading of the mRNA sequence and inhibition of translocation. Consequently, protein synthesis is inhibited.
