INHIBITION
INHIBITION OF CELL WALL SYNTHESIS
- New peptidoglycan monomers are inserted by transglycosylase (transglycosidase)
- The final rigidity of the cell wall is imparted by cross-linking of the peptide chains by transpeptidase enzyme
- Penicillin-Binding Proteins (PBP) may act as transglycosylase or as transpeptidase
