Peptidoglycan Layer of Staphylococcus aureus Cell Wall (PG)
- Target
- PG
- Molecular classification
- Polysaccharide, Polymer, Structural component
01
Overview
The peptidoglycan layer is the major structural component of the Staphylococcus aureus cell wall, essential for maintaining cell shape, protecting against osmotic lysis, and providing a scaffold for surface proteins. It consists of repeating GlcNAc-MurNAc disaccharides cross-linked by pentaglycine bridges. Its biosynthesis pathway is a key target for antibiotics.
