MyBioSource.com's Vancomycin Antibody monoclonal antibody. The Vancomycin Antibody was generated using sanA as the antigen. It reacts with Bacteria/Archaea. This antibody has been shown to work in applications such as: ELISA, and Immunofluorescence.
Description
Vancomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. The main target of this antibiotic is the D-alanyl-D-alanine terminal dipeptide of peptidoglycan precursors, used by bacteria for constructing their cell walls. This prevents the reaction used to link peptidoglycan precursors together from taking place. Vancomycin binds with the substrate, not the enzyme: this is in contrast to the way penicillin inhibits peptidoglycan synthesis
