Peptidoglycan-modifying enzymes : mechanistic studies and substrate and inhibitor design
Peptidoglycan is a key component of the bacterial cell wall and is an essential structure for protecting the cell from lysis due to high osmotic pressure. Because of its importance, peptidoglycan has become a prominent target for antibiotic design as well as a number of host defense mechanisms. In...
