Biochem/physiol Actions
N-Acetyl-D-alanine may be used with other D-aminoacylated amino acids as a substrate for the identification, differentiation and characterization of D-aminoacylase(s)/amidohydrolase(s). N-acetyl-D-alanine may be used to study aglycon pocket specific binding on vancomycin.

Vancomycin and related glycopeptide antibiotics exert their antimicrobial effect by binding to carboxy-terminal peptide targets in the bacterial cell wall and preventing the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan. Bacteria can resist the action of these agents by replacing the peptide targets with

The analysis of the binding data of D,L-dansyl amino acids on a vancomycin stationary phase is investigated in relation to the addition of N-acetyl-D-alanine in the mobile phase. This eluent additive acts as a specific competing agent for the aglycone

The crystal structures of three vancomycin complexes with two vancomycin-sensitive cell-wall precursor analogs (diacetyl-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala and acetyl-D-Ala-D-Ala) and a vancomycin-resistant cell-wall precursor analog (diacetyl-Lys-D-Ala-D-lactate) were determined at atomic resolutions of 1.80 A, 1.07 A, and 0.93 A, respectively. These structures not
