Question:
Talk about the cell wall inhibition role done by beta lactams.
Author: H KAnswer:
Transpeptidase is an enzyme that attaches two molecules of glycoproteins through the D-alanine amino acid, making the cell wall. However this transpeptidase is also a Penicillin binding protein (receptor of betta lactams) which destroy its activity and thus destroys cell wall. So beta lactams are bactericidal
