Peptidoglycan

Lecture 1- Peptidoglycan

Microorganism is small particles that Can't see by your eyes. There have many types of microbes, one of the type is bacteria. Bacteria got two group. Gram positive bacteria and gram negative of bacteria. Gram positive bacteria consist a thick peptidoglycan, meanwhile gram negative bacteria consist thin peptidoglycan. Peptidoglycan compose sugar and proteins. Peptidoglycan is very important to bacteria because, its will strengthen the structure of bacteria. Without peptidoglycan, bacteria easy to destroy and lysis.

From the info, scientist can generate a medicine or antibiotic to destroy the peptidoglycan in bacteria. Maybe the antibiotic will attack the peptidoglycan and destroy bacteria (pathogenic) in human body.

For more information, the blog will give the structure of peptidoglycan and we also provide the content in peptidoglycan. From the information, i hope scientist got idea to generate a medicine or antibiotic to destroy the pathogenic bacteria in human body.













All bacteria have a peptidoglycan to strengthen their structure.












Peptidoglycan consist a N-acetyl glucosamine and bridge of tetrapeptide.
