Functional Studies of Penicillin-binding Protein 1 in Bacillus subtilis

The penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) synthesize and modify peptidoglycan (PG), the main structural element of the bacterial cell wall. PBPs and PG synthesis are highly conserved in all bacteria and both have been important targets for antibiotic and antibacterial development. In the Gram positive...
