Melford Actinomycin D
Description
Actinomycin D, also known as Dactinomycin, is an antibiotic.
It works by binding to DNA, inhibiting both DNA and RNA synthesis. This interference with nucleic acid synthesis makes it effective against rapidly dividing cells, such as cancer cells.
Actinomycin D is used as a tool to study DNA and RNA synthesis, cell cycle progression, and cellular responses to DNA damage. Its ability to interfere with nucleic acid synthesis makes it valuable in understanding the molecular mechanisms of cell biology and cancer.
