Product Information
Name:5-Hydroxy-6-methylpyridine-3-carboxylic acid
Brand:Biosynth
Description:5-Hydroxy-6-methylpyridine-3-carboxylic acid (5HMP) is a water soluble compound that is used as a substrate binding agent in enzymatic reactions. 5HMP is dissolved in water, then added to the substrate and enzyme mixture. The reaction mechanism of 5HMP is via ring opening, which is catalyzed by the enzyme flavin reductase. The kinetic constants for this reaction are Km=0.2 mM and Vmax=32 nmol/min/mg of protein. 5HMP has been shown to have antibiotic properties against P. aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen that can cause serious infections in people with cystic fibrosis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. 5HMP also binds to tetracycline, preventing the drug from binding to ribosomes and inhibiting protein synthesis.
