Bacitracin complex is a bacitracin (Item No. 21212) antibiotic complex composed of cyclic dipeptides that has been found in Bacillus.1 It is metal-dependent and is complexed to a divalent metal cation, such as Cu2+, Ni2+, Co2+, Zn2+, or Mn2+, for its activity.1,2 Bacitracin complex is a mixture of bacitracin polypeptides in complex with copper.WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use. | [Definition]
ChEBI: Bacitracin A is a homodetic cyclic peptide consisting of (4R)-2-[(1S,2S)-1-amino-2-methylbutyl]-4,5-dihydro-1,3-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid attached head-to-tail to L-leucyl,D-glutamyl, L-lysyl, D-ornityl, L-isoleucyl, D-phenylalanyl, L-histidyl. D-aspartyl and L-asparaginyl residues coupled in sequence and cyclised by condensation of the side-chain amino group of the L-lysyl residue with the C-terminal carboxylic acid group. It is the major component of bacitracin. It has a role as an antibacterial agent and an antimicrobial agent. It is a homodetic cyclic peptide and a polypeptide. |
