    Product Description

    D-(+)-Cellopentaose is an oligosaccharide derived from cellulose.1 It has been used as a synthetic acceptor co-substrate to characterize the binding domains and enzyme kinetics of the E. coli pEtN transferase BcsG found in E. coli biofilms.2 D-(+)-Cellopentaose has also been used as a substrate for a synthetic receptor designed to solubilize polysaccharides for use in tissue engineering and biological applications.3

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
