Product Information

• Name: Fmoc-Lys(Fmoc)-OH
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Fmoc-Lys(Fmoc)-OH is an antibacterial agent that can be synthesized from a number of precursors. It has been shown to inhibit the uptake of mannose by staphylococcus cells and its subsequent use in the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. Fmoc-Lys(Fmoc)-OH also inhibits the growth of viruses, such as HIV, and human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1), by binding to mannose receptors on the surface of macrophage-like cells. Intramolecular hydrogen bonds stabilise this complex, which prevents it from breaking down. This allows Fmoc-Lys(Fmoc)-OH to remain in the body for a longer period of time than other antibiotics that are broken down by enzymes. Fmoc-Lys(Fmoc)-OH has also been shown to be an effective antibacterial agent against Staphylococcus a
