General description

Chemical structure: β-lactam

Application

Used for selection of ampr transformed cells. Used to study the role of penicillin-sensitive transpeptidases in cell wall biosynthesis.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Mode of Action: Carboxypenicillin antibiotic that inhibits bacterial cell-wall synthesis (peptidoglycan cross-linking) by inactivating transpeptidases on the inner surface of the bacterial cell membrane.


Antimicrobial spectrum: Active against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria

Analysis Note

Stable at 37 °C for 3 days

Bacteria are well known to form dormant persister cells that are tolerant to most antibiotics. Such intrinsic tolerance also facilitates the development of multidrug resistance through acquired mechanisms. Thus persister cells are a promising target for developing more effective methods
Brigitte K Ziervogel et al.
Structure (London, England : 1993), 21(1), 76-87 (2012-12-04)
The structure of OmpF porin in complex with three common antibiotics (zwitterionic ampicillin, anionic ertapenem, and di-anionic carbenicillin) was determined using X-ray crystallography. The three antibiotics are found to bind within the extracellular and periplasmic pore vestibules, away from the

We report the first crystal structures of a penicillin-binding protein (PBP), PBP3, from Pseudomonas aeruginosa in native form and covalently linked to two important β-lactam antibiotics, carbenicillin and ceftazidime. Overall, the structures of apo and acyl complexes are very similar;

The effects of substrate binding on class A β-lactamase dynamics were studied using molecular dynamics simulations of two model enzymes; 40 100-ns trajectories of the free and substrate-bound forms of TEM-1 (with benzylpenicillin) and PSE-4 (with carbenicillin) were recorded (totaling
Nina Möker et al.
Journal of bacteriology, 192(7), 1946-1955 (2010-01-26)
Bacterial persister cells constitute a small portion of a culture which is tolerant to killing by lethal doses of bactericidal antibiotics. These phenotypic variants are formed in numerous bacterial species, including those with clinical relevance like the opportunistic pathogen Pseudomonas
