Properties
Description
It is an recombinant Photobacterium damsel CMP-sialic acid synthetase (NmCSS) produced in E. coli. This product can be used to study the mode of action of the enzyme and its potential inhibitors, and can also be used as a glycoengineering tool to modify glycoproteins in vitro.
Unit Definition
One unit will catalyze the formation of 1 μmol CMP-Sia from sialic acid and CTP per minute at 37°C.
Source
Photobacterium damsel
Purity
>95%, determined by SDS-PAGE.
Applications
Study the mode of action of the enzyme and its potential inhibitors and as a glycoengineering tool to modify glycoproteins in vitro.
