Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

Bacterial Peptidoglycan is a polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids, a mesh-like rigid layer that forms the cell wall. D-Amino Acids (D-AAs) are metabolically incorporated onto the bacterial cell wall by D,D-transpeptidase and/or L,D-transpeptidase. It was recently discovered that those transpeptidases catalyze the metabolic incorporation of exogenous D-AAs with almost no restriction of the side-chain identity. Modification of a D-AA with molecular fluorophores provides fluorescent d-amino acids that can efficiently label in situ peptidoglycan in diverse bacterial species.
Fluorescein Labeled D-Alanine is a fluorescent derivative of D-alanine that is obtained by a synthetic conjugation of 3-amino-D-alanine to a fluorophore. Fluorescein Labeled D-Alanine has high biocompatibility and suitability for labeling peptidoglycans in live bacteria

Anwendung

Fluorescent labeled D-AAs can be used for many applications including:

• Bacterial cell wall morphology
• Bacterial cell wall formation or remodeling activity
• Bacterial viability/activity
• Identify bacterial activity on surfaces or in substances
