How can you use “peptidoglycan” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

A large suite of conserved enzymes, such as glycosyltransferases (which form the hexose polymers), racemases (which generate D-amino-acid units), and peptidyltransferases and transpeptidases (which form inter-peptide linkages) are involved in the biosynthesis of peptidoglycan [ 3, 4, 5].
The carboxy-terminal parts of these proteins are most closely related to cyanophycin synthetase, which catalyzes the synthesis of a polypeptide storage polymer in cyanobacteria, and more distantly related to D-Ala-D-Ala ligase, which is involved in peptidoglycan biosynthesis in many bacteria.
Our results demonstrate that peptidoglycan, teichoic acid, LPS, and the staphylococcal superantigen staphylococcal enterotoxin A (SEA), when present in the osteoblast extracellular environment, do not induce TRAIL expression (Fig.
Osteoblasts were incubated with various concentrations of major surface components of S. aureus , peptidoglycan and teichoic acid, as well as LPS of gram-negative bacteria to determine if these were potential inducers of TRAIL expression.
The two major components of the staphylococcal cell wall, peptidoglycan and lipoteichoic acid have been reported to produce inflammation [ 51 52 ] and specifically to induce arthritis [ 53 ] . Bacterial peptidoglycan is also known to stimulate the bone-resorbing activity of macrophages [ 54 ] . Furthermore, staphylococci produce an array of secreted products capable of inducing or sustaining inflammation.
