Description

Udp-3-O[R-3-Hydroxymyristoyl]-n-Acetylglucosamine Tris Salt is a key biochemical intermediate, specifically a lipid-linked precursor in the biosynthesis of bacterial cell wall components. This compound is essential for researchers studying the molecular mechanisms of bacterial peptidoglycan assembly and for screening novel antibacterial agents that target this pathway. It is primarily utilized by pharmaceutical R&D teams, academic biochemistry laboratories, and companies developing enzyme inhibitors for therapeutic applications.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Critical substrate for studying the enzymatic activity of MurG and other transferases in the peptidoglycan biosynthesis pathway.
• Antibacterial Drug Discovery: Used in high-throughput screening assays to identify and characterize novel inhibitors of bacterial cell wall synthesis.
• Enzyme Kinetics & Mechanism Studies: Serves as a precise tool for determining kinetic parameters (Km, Vmax) and elucidating the catalytic mechanisms of glycosyltransferases.
• Metabolic Pathway Analysis: Employed in tracing and quantifying the flux through the lipid cycle II in bacterial systems using analytical techniques like LC-MS.
• Reference Standard: Used as a certified reference material (CRM) for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of bacterial cell wall precursors in quality control and diagnostic applications.
