[Aroid-l] Varigated ZZ`s and more.

From: plantguy at zoominternet.net (Daniel Devor) on 2007.11.02 at 21:19:34(16648) Hi Bernhard, I can tell you that many aminoglycosides can cause read-through of stop codons. The ones that I was most familiar with back then were neomycin and gentamicin....both insanely common in any science lab in the world. These were not the ones I used I am pretty sure, but honestly, this was atleast 5 years ago so do not remember what aminoglycoside I used. I'm sure a 5 minute search of the scientific literature would turn it up. As I recall, I came across this when reading more about the molecular biology of premature stop codon read-through for CF therapy and thought, hey that could be fun to fiddle with at home. Perhaps we could all sit at home and make designer aroids for ourselves, but I would worry that this schlock would end up on ebay along with some of the rest of the garbage that can be found there.

Dan, could you specify the antibiotics that cause this? Curious, Bernhard. ========================= Bernhard Strolka Uetze, Germany USDA zone 7 (two nights with frost so far......) -----Original Message----- Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2007 23:25:42 +0100 Subject: Re: [Aroid-l] Varigated ZZ`s and more.
