Specifications
Target Information
Ampicillin is a β-lactam antibiotic that targets bacterial cell wall synthesis. It binds to penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) in the bacterial cell membrane, inhibiting the transpeptidase enzyme responsible for cross-linking peptidoglycan chains. This disruption weakens the cell wall, leading to osmotic instability and bacterial lysis. Ampicillin is effective against a wide range of pathogens, including Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Escherichia coli. Its specific action on cell wall synthesis makes it a valuable target for antibody development to enhance its therapeutic efficacy and specificity in treating bacterial infections.
