Description

Carboxypeptidase, Muramoylpentapeptide is a specialized enzymatic preparation derived from the bacterial cell wall component muramyl pentapeptide. This product is critical for biochemical research and pharmaceutical development, particularly in studies related to bacterial cell wall synthesis, peptidoglycan remodeling, and the development of novel antimicrobial agents. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, pharmaceutical R&D departments, and biotechnology companies focused on enzymology, antibiotic discovery, and immunology.

Application

• Biochemical Research: Used as a specific enzyme to study the structure, function, and biosynthesis pathways of bacterial peptidoglycan.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as a key reagent in screening assays for the discovery of new antibiotics that target cell wall synthesis.
• Enzymology Studies: Employed to investigate enzyme kinetics, substrate specificity, and inhibition mechanisms of carboxypeptidase activity.
• Immunology Research: Used to generate defined peptidoglycan fragments for studying innate immune responses and inflammation.
• Diagnostic Reagent Manufacturing: A component in enzymatic kits designed for bacterial identification and susceptibility testing.
• Academic & Industrial R&D: Essential for fundamental and applied research in microbiology and medicinal chemistry.

Quality Control

Our Carboxypeptidase, Muramoylpentapeptide is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems. Each batch is characterized for specific activity, purity, and stability to ensure consistent performance in sensitive research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing assay results, protein content, and activity units are provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance with your research protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect enzymatic activity. For short-term use, aliquots may be stored at 2-8°C.
