HADA

Uses

HADA hydrochloride (HCC-Amino-D-alanine hydrochloride) is a blue (λem~450 nm) fluorescent D-amino acid (FDAA). FDAAs are efficiently incorporated into the peptidoglycans (PGs) of diverse bacterial species at the sites of PG biosynthesis, allowing specific and covalent probing of bacterial growth with minimal perturbation[1].
