Virginiamycin complex is defined as a mixture of 75% virginamycin M1 (ostreogrycin A) and 25% virginiamycin S1 and the less abundant S analogs. As the two major components have quite different solubilities these proportions are not readily achieved or used. The individual components are isolated and re-combined to provide the defined components of virginiamycin complex. The structure composition of the complex is important as Virginiamycin S1 acts a synergist, binding to the conformational change of the peptidyl transferase center of the 50S ribosome induced by ostreogrycin A.
Description:Virginiamycin Complex
Molecular Weight:525.6 (Virginiamycin M1) and 823.9 (Virginiamycin S1)
Solubility:Soluble in DMF or DMSO. Viriginiamycin M1 has only limited solubility in ethanol and methanol. Poor water solubility.
Storage and Stability:Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C and is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
