Application

Ala-D-γ-Glu-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala is the pentapeptide tail of the peptidoglycan precursor UDPMurNAc-l-Ala-γ-d-Glu-l-Lys(Gly)(5)-d-Ala-d-Ala. Ala-D-γ-Glu-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala is used to study the role of this peptide stem in peptidoglycan biosynthesis, degradation and function.

Biochem/physiol Actions

L-Ala-D-Glu-gamma-L-Lys-D-Ala-D-Ala, peptidoglycan pentapeptide, is the antigenic peptide determinant of peptidoglycan useful in studies of mechanisms of action of glycopeptide antibiotics.

Vancomycin forms complexes with peptides terminating in d-alanyl-d-alanine that are analogous to the biosynthetic precursors of bacterial mucopeptides. The specificity of complex-formation has been studied by means of many synthetic peptides, prepared by both solid-phase and conventional methods. The following
