| Description: | Peptidoglycan is composed of glycan strands and peptide stems. In this instance the glycan strands are made of N-acetylmuramic acid/MurNAc (MUB) and N-acetylglucosamine/GlcNAc (NAG) linked by beta-1,4 glycosidic bonds. Peptide stems, in this instance, are attach to MurNAc and consist of L-alanine, gamma D-glutamine/D-Gln (ZGL), meso-diaminopimelic acid/m-DAP (JGO), and D-alanine (DAP). |
