D-Alanine and Antimicrobial Targets

Loading

D-alanine is essential for bacterial peptidoglycan synthesis and is closely connected to several antimicrobial targets. Explore alanine racemase, D-Ala-D-Ala ligase, vancomycin, D-cycloserine and bacterial resistance mechanisms.

D-Alanine-D-Alanine Ligase

Loading

D-alanine-D-alanine ligase is an ATP-dependent bacterial enzyme that forms D-Ala-D-Ala, an essential component of peptidoglycan precursors. Explore its structure, catalytic mechanism, role in bacterial cell-wall synthesis and importance in antimicrobial research.

Alanine Racemase

Loading

Alanine racemase is a PLP-dependent enzyme that converts L-alanine into D-alanine, supporting bacterial peptidoglycan synthesis and cell-wall formation. Explore its structure, catalytic mechanism, biological function and importance as a potential antimicrobial target.
