The moenomycins A and C-1 as well as penta-. di- and monosaccharide analogues have been conjugated to BSA and biotin, respectively, The moenomycin A-BSA conjugates have been used to raise polyclonal antibodies. It has been demonstrated that the antisera recognize moenomycin A. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
Membrane Anchoring and Intervesicle Transfer of a Derivative of the Antibiotic Moenomycin A
The anchoring of moenomycin A (1) to the bacterial cell cytoplasmic membrane is essential for its biological activity. The first details of the strength of this interaction and the kinetics of the diffusion-mediated intervesicle transfer have been obtained by means of fluorescence spectroscopic methods using a coumarin-labeled moenomycin A derivative.
