Pentaglycine（Cat No.:I043233）is a peptide composed of five glycine amino acid residues linked by peptide bonds. It plays a crucial role in bacterial cell wall structure, particularly in Gram-positive bacteria, where it is part of the pentaglycine bridge that links the peptidoglycan layers. This bridge contributes to the rigidity and strength of the bacterial cell wall. Pentaglycine is also studied for its potential as an antimicrobial agent, as disrupting its formation can weaken bacterial cell walls, making bacteria more susceptible to antibiotics. It may also be of interest in biotechnology and drug development.
