The Biochemistry of the Latter Stages ofPeptidoglycan Biosynthesis and Modification

Bacterial cell integrity is maintained by peptidoglycan, a rigid polymer of alternating sugar residues (N-acetlyglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid) cross-linked by short peptide stems. Peptidoglycan biosynthesis is a complex three-stage process, under tight spatial and temporal control, with multi...
