About Dactinomycin

The Dactinomycin is a class of polypeptide antibiotics isolated from soil bacteria of the genus Streptomyces, of which the most significant is actinomycin D.It is primarily used as an investigative tool in cell biology to inhibit transcription. Dactinomycin does this by binding DNA at the transcription initiation complex and preventing elongation by RNA polymerase.
