Paromomycin sulfate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used in research applications that focus on the inhibition of protein synthesis in prokaryotic organisms. It is frequently employed in microbiological studies to investigate the efficacy and specificity of antibacterial agents against a variety of bacterial strains. In molecular biology, paromomycin sulfate is utilized to induce miscoding during translation in cell-free systems, which helps in understanding the fidelity of protein synthesis. In addition, researchers use this compound in the study of ribosomal structure and function, as it binds to the rRNA of the small ribosomal subunit, affecting the decoding site. Studies involving the compound also extend to environmental microbiology, where it is used to assess the impact of aminoglycosides on microbial communities and the development of resistance in natural and artificial ecosystems.
