VANCOMYCIN IS A TRICYCLIC GLYCOPEPTIDE. THE SCAFFOLD IS A HEPTAPEPTIDE WITH THE CONFIGURATION D-D-L-D-D-L-L. IT IS FURTHER GLYCOSYLATED BY A DISACCHARIDE MADE OF D-GLUCOSE AND VANCOSAMINE. HERE, VANCOMYCIN IS REPRESENTED BY GROUPING TOUGHER THE SEQUENCE (SEQRES) AND THE TWO LIGANDS (HET) BGC AND RER.
VANCOMYCIN IS A TRICYCLIC GLYCOPEPTIDE, GLYCOSYLATED BY A DISACCHARIDE (RESIDUES 8 AND 9) ON RESIDUE 4.
