| Description | H-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-Gly-OH also called pentaglycine, is a bridge containing five glycine molecules. Pentaglycine can form highly cross-linked peptidoglycan. Glucose reduced expression of pentaglycine. Pentaglycine is cleaved by lysostaphin, and occurs in the cell envelope of staphylococci. Pentaglycine forms stable 4N-coordinated Cu(II) complexes. |
