Bleomycin anti-cancer agent. Computer model showing the molecular structure of the glycopeptide antibiotic Bleomycin. The quaternary structure of this protein can be seen,consisting of different amino peptide chains (green,yellow and purple). Alpha helices (coils),beta sheets (arrows) and linking regions (thin,wire-like) can also be seen,representing the bonds that dictate the protein's shape. Bleomycin is produced by the bacterium Streptomyces verticillus and is used as an anti-cancer agent. It is used in chemotherapy for the treatment of Hodgkin's lymphoma,squamous cell carcinomas,and testicular cancer,as well as in the treatment plantar warts | |
