Product Information

• Name: 6-Deoxy-6-fluoro-L-galactose
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: 6-Deoxy-6-fluoro-L-galactose is a sugar nucleotide that is extracted from the dithioacetal of l-fucose and d-galactose. It inhibits the synthesis of DNA and RNA by binding to the enzyme that catalyzes this reaction, thereby blocking these processes. 6DFLG has been shown to inhibit transformation in Escherichia coli. The mechanistic studies of 6DFLG show that it reacts with oxygen at the electrophilic site to produce an olefinic product, which then reacts with nucleophiles, such as water, to form a trackable product. This reagent can be used to determine whether or not a particular sugar is present in a sample.
