Product Information
N-Propionyl-D-glucosamine is a sugar used in the synthesis of peptidoglycan, a structural component of bacterial cell walls. N-Propionyl-D-glucosamine is synthesized from formaldehyde and propionic acid. It is used as an antibiotic to treat bacterial infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria such as streptococci and staphylococci. N-Propionyl-D-glucosamine has also been shown to have anti-fungal properties against Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The biosynthesis of this compound takes place through phosphorylation of the amide group on the sugar residue, which is catalyzed by a number of enzymes including phosphotransacetylase, acetate kinase, and phosphoenolpyruvate synthase. This process requires ATP, phosphate ions, ammonium ion, and water molecules.
