Produktinformation

• Name: Microcystin LA from algae
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Microcystin LA is a cyclic peptide that is extracted from the algae Microcystis aeruginosa. It has been found to have a broad spectrum of activity against bacterial and fungal strains in vitro, as well as against some animal cells. Microcystin LA binds to the receptor on the mitochondrial membrane, which causes depolarization, leading to inhibition of energy production and cell death. Microcystin LA also has high affinity for monoclonal antibodies and can be used in immunoassays to detect bacterial or fungal cells. This compound can be used for sample preparation in analytical chemistry because it inhibits the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Furthermore, this compound can be used for natural products research due to its ability to inhibit protein synthesis.
