CAS 1114-41-6

Muramic acid

Description:

Muramic acid, with the CAS number 1114-41-6, is a unique amino sugar that plays a significant role in the structure of bacterial cell walls, particularly in peptidoglycan. It is characterized by its molecular structure, which includes a hexose sugar backbone with an amino group and a carboxylic acid functional group. This compound is typically found in the cell walls of Gram-positive bacteria, contributing to their rigidity and structural integrity. Muramic acid is also involved in various biochemical processes, including the synthesis of peptidoglycan, which is essential for bacterial growth and survival. Its presence is a key distinguishing feature of bacterial cells compared to eukaryotic cells, which do not contain peptidoglycan. Additionally, muramic acid can be utilized in research and industrial applications, particularly in the study of bacterial physiology and the development of antibiotics targeting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Overall, muramic acid is an important compound in microbiology and biochemistry, reflecting the complexity of bacterial cell wall architecture.

Muramic Acid

Controlled Product

CAS: 1114-41-6

Applications Amino sugar found (as the N-acetyl derivative) in peptidoglycan, the main skeletal component of the bacterial cell wall. The N-acetyl derivative of muramic acid is an amino sugar that constitutes the peptidoglycan bacterial cell wall of Gram negative and Gram positive bacteria. Muramic acid is used as a chemical marker for the detection of bacterial contamination.
