Gentamicin B1 is not a minor gentamicin component with major nonsense mutation suppression activity
2018-11-23
Abstract excerpt
Nonsense mutations are single base substitutions that introduce a premature termination codon (PTC) preventing the formation of full-length protein. They are the causative mutations in about 10% of patients in a large number of rare genetic diseases. High concentrations of the antibiotic gentamicin can induce the incorporation of an amino acid at a PTC and formation of full-length protein, a process called PTC rea...
