• Beschreibung: 4-Fluoro-DL-tryptophan is an antibiotic that inhibits the synthesis of protein by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit. 4-Fluoro-DL-tryptophan acts as a competitive inhibitor of phosphatase and synthetase, which are enzymes required for protein synthesis. This antibiotic has been shown to be effective against resistant mutants of bacteria such as subtilis and has been used in medical research as a fluorescent probe for studying tryptophan fluorescence properties. 4-Fluoro-DL-tryptophan also binds to the enzyme aminoacyl tRNA synthetase, preventing the attachment of amino acids to tRNA molecules.
