Uses
DapL-IN-1 is an inhibitor of L,L-diaminoheptanoic acid aminotransferase (DapL) with the characteristics of inhibiting DapL activity in bacteria and plants. DapL-IN-1 can be used to design and discover new biocides such as antibiotics, herbicides or algaecides with the potential to be non-toxic to animals. DapL-IN-1 shows differential sensitivity in inhibiting different DapL homologues, which can provide important information for further drug development. DapL-IN-1 may affect its biological activity by affecting the interaction with residues adjacent to the active site, which may lead to different binding modes[1].
