Tunicamycin 17:1 Mixture

Tunicamycin 17:1 is a mixture of isomers featuring a 17-carbon branched N-acyl chain derived from cellular BCFAs, which dictates its bioactivity. This compound potently inhibits the bacterial enzyme MraY and is widely used in research to study cell wall biosynthesis, protein glycosylation, and endoplasmic reticulum stress in both cellular and animal models.
