Taking advantage of the peptide transport strategy, we have designed and synthesized several new peptides containing 2-aminopimelic acid (Apm), an inhibitor of the diaminopimelate pathway in bacteria: L-Lys-ambo-Apm, ambo-Apm-L-Lys, L-Lys-L-Ala-ambo-Apm, ambo-Apm-L-Ala-L-Lys, L-Ala(Cl)-ambo-Apm and ambo-Apm-L-Ala(Cl). In the two latter cases, Apm

Succinyl-CoA:tetrahydrodipicolinate-N-succinyltransferase is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of diaminopimelic acid (DAP), a component of the cell wall peptidoglycan of nearly all bacteria. This enzyme converts the cyclic precursor tetrahydrodipicolinic acid (THDPA) to a succinylated acyclic product. L-2-Aminopimelic acid (L-1)

In vitro experiments have demonstrated that camel foregut-fluid has the capacity to metabolize indospicine, a natural toxin which causes hepatotoxicosis, but such metabolism is in competition with absorption and outflow of indospicine from the different segments of the digestive system.
