Nearly all bacteria contain peptidoglycan. Review the structure of peptidoglycan by selecting the correct characteristics listed below.
Check All That Apply
Polymer of alternating N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM)
Contains a tetrapeptide that extends from N-acetylglucosamine (NAG)
Contains D-amino acids not found in proteins
All bacteria use a peptide interbridge to connect the sugar strands
Peptidoglycan is a strong and rigid structure
Can you please identify what type of protein this is?
Classify each peptide chain as part of a parallel β sheet, part of an antiparallel β sheet, either type of β sheet, or not part of a β sheet.
Parallel β sheet // Antiparallel β sheet // Either // Neither
