Description

Acyl Carrier Protein (65-74) is a defined peptide fragment of the acyl carrier protein (ACP), a critical cofactor in fatty acid biosynthesis. This high-purity synthetic peptide is essential for biochemical research, enabling the study of protein-protein interactions, enzymatic mechanisms, and substrate specificity within the fatty acid synthase complex. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers in pharmaceutical development, enzymology, and metabolic pathway analysis.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or binding partner to study the structure and function of fatty acid synthase (FAS) and other ACP-interacting enzymes.
• Enzyme Mechanism Studies: Essential for investigating the catalytic cycle, acyl transfer, and chain elongation steps in fatty acid synthesis.
• Drug Discovery Screening: Serves as a target in assays designed to identify novel antibiotics or metabolic disorder therapeutics that disrupt bacterial or mammalian lipid biosynthesis.
• Protein-Protein Interaction Analysis: Employed in surface plasmon resonance (SPR), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), and other biophysical techniques to quantify binding affinities.
• Educational & Diagnostic Kit Component: Used in advanced teaching laboratories and as a component in specialized diagnostic assays for research purposes.
