Netropsin Inhibitor

Netropsin is a basic polypeptide isolated from Streptomyces netropsis with antibiotic and antiviral activity. It is strong, specific binding to A-T areas of DNA is useful to genetics research. Netropsin is active against Gram-negative bacteria and Gram-positive bacteria.

Small volumes of Netropsin, inhibitor vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
