Description

General description

Hercynine is the precursor and redox metabolite of ergothioneine, which regulates microbial physiology and enables the survival of microbes under stressful conditions encountered in their natural environments. Ergothioneine is primarily present as a thione physiological pH, which makes it resistant to autoxidation. Ergothioneine enables pathogenic microbes, such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) to withstand hostile environments within the host to establish infection.

Application

Hercynine is a versatile molecule and it finds application in biochemical and metabolomics research.
