Product Overview
Novobiocin Sodium Salt is a well-characterised aminocoumarin antibiotic widely used in microbiology and molecular biology research. It exhibits strong activity against Gram-positive bacteria by inhibiting DNA gyrase, an essential enzyme involved in bacterial DNA replication and supercoiling.
In laboratory settings, Novobiocin Sodium Salt is valued as a research tool for studying DNA replication, transcriptional control, and antibiotic resistance mechanisms, particularly in Staphylococcus species. Ausamics supplies high-purity research-grade Novobiocin Sodium Salt, manufactured and tested under controlled conditions to ensure reproducible and reliable performance.
