Form a 3D molecular structure model of Sinigrin using Authentic Molymod Model Parts by Indigo Instruments
Sinigrin is a naturally occurring glucosinolate found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, cabbage & cauliflower as well as brassicas such as mustard & horseradish. Is chemical structure is characterized by its allyl side chain, β-D-glucose moiety, and thiohydroximate sulfate (S-N=O) group. Its derivate, allyl isothiocyanate contributes both to the strong taste of horseradish as well as acting as a natural chemical defence compound.
Its mechanism of action as an antimicrobial & and antifungal is its disruption of membranes, protein denaturation and interference of metabolic processes. As a broad-spectrum antimicrobial is effective against Gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus & Listeria monocytogenes & Gram-negative bacteria such as Escherichia coli & Salmonella typhimurium). As an antifungal, it affects Aspergillus spp. & Candida albicans.
