Abstract: Peptidoglycan (PG) is a giant macromolecule that completely surrounds bacterial cells and prevents lysis in hypo-osmotic environments. This net-like macromolecule is made of glycan strands linked to each other by two types of transpeptidases that… read more here.

Abstract: Braun’s lipoprotein (Lpp) plays a major role in stabilizing the integrity of the cell envelope in Escherichia coli, as it provides a covalent cross-link between the outer membrane and the peptidoglycan layer. An important challenge… read more here.
