Diaminopimelic acid

Index Diaminopimelic acid

Diaminopimelic acid (DAP) is an amino acid, representing an epsilon-carboxy derivative of lysine. [1]

8 relations: Amino acid, Aspartate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, Braun's lipoprotein, Cell wall, Gram-negative bacteria, Lysine, Peptidoglycan, Pimelic acid.

Amino acid

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.

Aspartate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase

In enzymology, an aspartate-semialdehyde dehydrogenase is an enzyme that is very important in the biosynthesis of amino acids in prokaryotes, fungi, and some higher plants.

Braun's lipoprotein

Braun's lipoprotein (BLP, Lpp, or murein lipoprotein), found in some gram-negative cell walls, is one of the most abundant membrane proteins; its molecular weight is about 7.2 kDa.

Lysine

Lysine (symbol Lys or K) is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.

Peptidoglycan

Peptidoglycan, also known as murein, is a polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids that forms a mesh-like layer outside the plasma membrane of most bacteria, forming the cell wall.
