Methionylpuromycin is an analog of the natural antibiotic puromycin. It is synthesized by attaching the amino acid methionine to the puromycin molecule. Methionylpuromycin acts as an analog of the natural substrate of peptidyl transferase, a key enzyme in protein synthesis. This means that it can bind to the ribosome, the site of protein synthesis, and interfere with the normal process of protein synthesis. In essence, methionylpuromycin acts as a chain terminator during protein synthesis, stopping the growth of the polypeptide chain. Methionylpuromycin is used as a tool to study protein synthesis and the mechanisms of action of antibiotics. It has been instrumental in understanding the steps involved in protein synthesis and how these steps can be targeted by drugs. Researchers use methionylpuromycin to probe the structure and function of the ribosome and to investigate the effects of different antibiotics on protein synthesis.'
