Identification of penicillin-binding protein 5a of Bacillus megaterium KM as a DD-carboxypeptidase

The Biochemical Journal

Abstract

Measurement of the stabilities of DD-carboxypeptidase activity and the penicillin-binding activity of proteins 5 and 5a in membranes isolated from vegetative cells and stage-V forespores suggests that the unique sporulation-specific protein 5a may be a penicillin-sensitive DD-carboxypeptidase.

Bacterial Cell Wall Structure (ASM)

Bacterial cell walls are made of peptidoglycan (also called murein), which is made from polysaccharide chains cross-linked by unusual peptides containing D-amino acids. Here is the latest research on bacterial cell wall structures.
