Gramicidin D

Gramcidins are 15 residue peptides with alternating D and L amino acids, which assemble inside of the hydrophobic interior of the cellular lipid bilayer to form a β-helix. … Gramcidin D is a heterogeneous mixture of three antibiotic compounds, gramicidins A, B and C, making up 80%, 6%, and 14% respectively all of which are obtained from the soil bacterial species Bacillus

Cefotetan

The drug is highly resistant to a broad spectrum of beta-lactamases and is active against a wide range of both aerobic and anaerobic gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms.

Batroxobin

Batroxobin is a serine protease, which cleaves the 16 Arginine - 17 Glycine bond in fibrinogen. … Once bound to fibrin, it will cause fibrin accretion(clot formation) to a degree 18 folds greater than thrombin.

Invert sugar

It differentiates from sugar cane in the rotation of the polarized light, which in the case of invert sugar it is to the left (levorotatory). … Invert sugar is obtained from sugar cane when this is treated with dilute acid or with the invertase enzyme.
