D-Ala-Ala-OH·HCl is a chemical compound that belongs to the group of amides. It is an inhibitor of vancomycin, which is a beta-lactam antibiotic with broad activity against Gram-positive bacteria. D-Ala-Ala-OH·HCl inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the penicillin-binding proteins in the bacterial cell wall. This binding prevents the formation of an antibiotic-inhibitor complex with the enzyme cell wall synthesis that is required for cell wall biosynthesis, inhibiting protein synthesis and cell division. D-Ala-Ala-OH·HCl binds to nitrogen atoms, such as those found in amino acids, and has been shown to be chemically stable for long periods of time. Studies have shown that this compound inhibits autoimmune diseases in rat models by preventing the activation of wild type T cells by blocking their interaction with antigen presenting cells. The reaction mechanism has been determined through intramole
