Abstract excerpt
Compositional analysis of the peptidoglycan (PG) of a wild-type methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and its fem-deletion mutants has been performed on whole cells and cell walls using stable-isotope labeling and rotational-echo double-resonance NMR. The labels included [1-(13)C,(15)N]glycine and l-[epsilon-(15)N]lysine (for a direct measure of the number of glycyl residues in the bridging segment),...
