Phleomycin is an antibiotic agent. It is known for its ability to cleave DNA, making it useful for studies involving DNA damage and repair mechanisms.
Phleomycin, reconstituted, is often employed to induce controlled DNA damage in cells by causing single- and double-strand breaks in the DNA structure. Typically used to investigate cellular responses to DNA damage, as well as to explore the mechanisms involved in DNA repair.
It is a valuable tool for understanding various aspects of molecular biology, including gene regulation and genome integrity.
