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.

β-Lactam antibiotics target bacterial cell-wall synthesis by inhibiting penicillin-binding proteins and transpeptidation. Explore penicillins, cephalosporins, carbapenems, monobactams, β-lactamases and major bacterial resistance mechanisms.
