Bioactivity | 8-Br-GTP, a GTP analog, is a competitive FtsZ polymerization and GTPase activity (Ki of 31.8 μM) inhibitor. 8-Br-GTP can be used for nucleic acid modification[1]. |
Invitro | 8-Br-GTP inhibits FtsZ polymerization but does not affect tubulin polymerization.8-Br-GTP has two stable orientations of the base toward the sugar: anti and syn. 8-Br-GTP shows preference for the syn conformation (population ~90%)[1][2]. |
