Description

General description

Chemical structure: ß-lactam

Application

Used for selection of ampr transformed cells. Used to study the role of penicillin-sensitive transpeptidases in cell wall biosynthesis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mode of Action: Carboxypenicillin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell-wall synthesis (peptidoglycan cross-linking) by inactivating transpeptidases on the inner surface of the bacterial cell membrane.


Antimicrobial spectrum: Active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria

Analysis Note

Stable at 37 °C for 3 days

Other Notes

Keep container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place.
