sCy5DL-amide
sCy5DL-amide is an amidated fluorescent D-amino acid conjugated to Sulfo-Cyanine 5, and a peptidoglycan labeling agent. sCy5DL-amide incorporates into bacterial peptidoglycan cell wall via transpeptidase-mediated reactions, replacing the fourth or fifth D-amino acid of the peptidoglycan stem peptide for visualization of nascent peptidoglycan biosynthesis. sCy5DL-amide produces clear cell outline, septum labeling, and high localization density in Bacillus subtilis, including a 'V-shape' pattern at cell-cell contact areas. sCy5DL-amide exhibits robust incorporation into Gram-positive bacteria and mycobacteria, with reduced incorporation into Gram-negative bacteria (Ex/Em = 646/666 nm).

Biological Activity
sCy5DL-amide (0.5 mM; 20 min) efficiently incorporates into the cell wall of Bacillus subtilis, enabling clear visualization of cell outlines and septa via widefield fluorescence imaging[1].
sCy5DL-amide (1 mM; 1-2 cell cycle duration) efficiently incorporates into the cell walls of Mycobacterium marinum and Mycobacterium tuberculosis, enabling high-resolution visualization of cell wall ultrastructure via SMLM imaging[1].
