Bacterial Cell Membrane (Gram-Positive Bacteria) (N/A)
- Target
- N/A
- Molecular classification
- Phospholipid Bilayer, Membrane
01
Overview
The bacterial cell membrane in gram-positive bacteria is a phospholipid bilayer located beneath the thick peptidoglycan wall. It functions as a selective barrier, controlling nutrient uptake and waste export, maintaining osmotic balance, and hosting enzymes for energy generation. It is a key target for antibiotics such as penicillins and vancomycin. It also is the site for anchoring proteins important for pathogenesis.
