Showdomycin as a Versatile Chemical Tool for the Detection of Pathogenesis-Associated Enzymes in Bacteria
30 Apr 2010
Abstract excerpt
Showdomycin is a potent nucleoside antibiotic that displays a high structural similarity to uridine and pseudouridine. No detailed target analysis of this very unusual electrophilic natural product has been carried out so far. To unravel its biological function, we synthesized a showdomycin probe that can be appended with a fluorophor or a biotin marker via click chemistry and identified diverse enzymes which...
