  2. Peptidoglycan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptidoglycan

    Peptidoglycan hydrolysis and synthesis are two processes that must occur in order for cells to grow and multiply, a technique carried out in three stages: clipping of current material, insertion of new material, and re-crosslinking of existing material to new material.

  3. Lysozyme - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysozyme

    Peptidoglycan is the major component of gram-positive bacterial cell wall. [1] This hydrolysis in turn compromises the integrity of bacterial cell walls causing lysis of the bacteria. Lysozyme is abundant in secretions including tears , saliva , human milk , and mucus .

  4. Lysin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lysin

    The lysin catalytic domain digests peptidoglycan locally at a high rate, which causes holes in the cell wall. Since the cross-linked peptidoglycan cell wall is the only mechanism that prevents the spontaneous burst of bacterial cells due to the high internal pressure (3 to 5 atmospheres), enzymatic digestion by lysins irreversibly causes ...

  5. CHAP domain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CHAP_domain

    Many of these proteins are uncharacterised, but it has been proposed that they may function mainly in peptidoglycan hydrolysis. The CHAP domain is found in a wide range of protein architectures; it is commonly associated with bacterial type SH3 domains and with several families of amidase domains.

  6. Pseudopeptidoglycan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudopeptidoglycan

    Pseudopeptidoglycan (also known as pseudomurein; [2] PPG hereafter) is a major cell wall component of some Archaea that differs from bacterial peptidoglycan in chemical structure, but resembles bacterial peptidoglycan in function and physical structure.

  7. Periplasm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Periplasm

    In particular, peptidoglycan synthesis is vital to cell wall production, and inhibitors of peptidoglycan synthesis have been of clinical interest for targeting bacteria for many decades. [ 24 ] [ 25 ] Furthermore, the periplasm is also relevant to clinical developments by way of its role in mediating the uptake of transforming DNA .

  8. Eggs now qualify as ‘healthy’ food, FDA says: Here’s why

    www.aol.com/eggs-now-qualify-healthy-food...

    The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) now classifies eggs as a “healthy, nutrient-dense" food, according to a new proposed rule. Registered dietitians react to the change.

  9. OBPgp279 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OBPgp279

    The catalytic domain of the enzyme resides on the C-terminal region of the enzyme. OBPgp279 is also predicted to contain peptidoglycan binding domains; since OBPgp279 contains two peptidoglycan binding domain motifs in its N-terminal region (general sequence motif=D-G-(Pho)2-G-K/N-G/N-T, Pho = hydrophobic amino acid), it likely contains two peptidoglycan binding domains as shown in the ...
