General description

Chemical structure: ß-lactam

Application

Cephalosporin C zinc salt is used to study the effect of transpeptidase expression, binding, and inhibition on bacterial cell wall mucopeptide synthesis.
Cephalosporin C zinc salt is used to study the effect of transpeptidase expression, binding, and inhibition on bacterial cell wall mucopeptide synthesis. Cephalosporin C has been used to determine activity during stopped-flow Fuorescence spectrometric measurements of association . It is also used as a substrate to detect Cephalosporinase activity .

Biochem/physiol Actions

Cephalosporins disrupt the synthesis of the peptidoglycan layer of bacterial cell walls.

In a previous study, we examined thermodynamic parameters for 20 alanine mutants in beta-lactamase inhibitory protein (BLIP) for binding to TEM-1 beta-lactamase. Here we have determined the structures of two thermodynamically distinctive complexes of BLIP mutants with TEM-1 beta-lactamase. The
