Description

2-Naphthyl a-L-fucopyranoside (2NAF) is an acid molecule that is transported through the cell membrane by a transport system that is specific for glycosidases. It has been shown to inhibit the growth of corynebacterium glutamicum by binding to the enzyme glutamicum, which catalyzes the synthesis of 2-naphthyl a-L-fucopyranosides. The photometric assay and membrane transport experiments have shown that 2NAF inhibits both nucleic acid synthesis and protein synthesis in corynebacterium cells. 2NAF also inhibits glycosidases in vitro, suggesting that it may be used as an inhibitor of bacterial cell wall biosynthesis.
