  1. Platensimycin (PTM)January 23 - 27 By: Jordan Bills and Mason Cressall

  2. Characteristics Some of platensimycin’s characteristics include: The chemical formula C24H27NO7 A molecular mass of 441.47 g/mol A storage temperature of -20° C It’s non-toxic

  3. History of Platensimycin Derived from Streptomycesplatensis, platensimycin is the most potent FabF (an enzyme) inhibitor. It’s best known use is as an antiseptic against bacterial infections. For instance, if a patient with Staphylococcus aureus is treated with platensimycin, then the Staphylococcus aureus is completely killed.
