Sialyllacto-N-tetraose a sodium salt (CAS 64003-53-8)
QUICK LINKS
Sialyllacto-N-tetraose is a compound that functions as a receptor analog in studies of bacterial adhesion and infection. It acts by competitively inhibiting the binding of bacteria to host cells, thereby preventing bacterial colonization and subsequent infection. This compound specifically targets bacterial adhesins, interfering with their ability to recognize and bind to host cell surface receptors. By doing so, it disrupts the initial stages of bacterial infection and colonization, providing insights into the molecular mechanisms of bacterial pathogenesis. Sialyllacto-N-tetraose achieves this by mimicking the structure of host cell surface receptors, effectively blocking the interaction between bacterial adhesins and host cells. This interference at the molecular level elucidates the specific interactions involved in bacterial adhesion and infection, contributing to a deeper understanding of these processes.
