ala-D-G-glu-lys-D-ala-D-ala

Description:
The chemical substance known as "ala-D-G-glu-lys-D-ala-D-ala," with the CAS number 2614-55-3, is a peptide that consists of a sequence of amino acids, specifically incorporating both L- and D-forms of amino acids. This compound is a derivative of the peptide structure commonly found in bacterial cell walls, particularly in peptidoglycan, which provides structural integrity to the cell. The presence of D-amino acids is significant as they contribute to the resistance of the peptide to enzymatic degradation by proteases, which typically target L-amino acids. The characteristics of this peptide include its potential role in antibiotic resistance mechanisms, as it can mimic natural substrates for bacterial enzymes. Additionally, it may exhibit antimicrobial properties and could be of interest in pharmaceutical research for developing new antibiotics or understanding bacterial cell wall synthesis. Its stability, solubility, and biological activity are influenced by the specific arrangement and composition of the amino acids within the peptide chain.
