Description

D-Glutamic acid alpha-amide is a carbohydrate that has been shown to have antibiotic properties. It can be produced by chemoenzymatic synthesis and is used as an animal feed additive. D-Glutamic acid alpha-amide is a conjugate of D-glutamic acid with either glycine or beta-alanine. The residue of this compound on red blood cells is measured in order to assess the amount of D-glutamic acid alpha-amide that has been ingested. This compound has also been shown to have antigenic properties, which can elicit immune responses when injected into animals. The meningococcal vaccine that contains D-glutamic acid alpha-amide was found to be effective at stimulating an immune response in mice against meningitis caused by gram negative species, such as Neisseria meningitidis.
