Membrane Anchoring and Intervesicle Transfer of a Derivative of the Antibiotic Moenomycin A.
The anchoring of moenomycin A (1) to the bacterial cell cytoplasmic membrane is essential for its biological activity. The first details of the strength of this interaction and the kinetics of the diffusion-mediated intervesicle transfer have been obtained by means of fluorescence spectroscopic methods using a coumarin-labeled moenomycin A derivative.
