Talk:Puromycin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If a molecule is lethal to both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, is it not better classified as a toxin rather than an antibiotic?

Perhaps it's lethal to eukaryotes through the mitochondria. This detail needs to be expanded. LostLucidity (talk) 19:01, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Puromycin is not lethal, it merely inhibits protein synthesis by terminating translation early. ArabburnvictiM (talk) 17:56, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
