MeSH Heading: Penicillin-Binding Proteins
Tree Number(s): D08.811.710; D12.776.097.545
Unique ID: D046915
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D046915
Scope Note: Bacterial proteins that share the property of binding irreversibly to PENICILLINS and other ANTIBACTERIAL AGENTS derived from LACTAMS. The penicillin-binding proteins are primarily enzymes involved in CELL WALL biosynthesis including MURAMOYLPENTAPEPTIDE CARBOXYPEPTIDASE; PEPTIDE SYNTHASES; TRANSPEPTIDASES; and HEXOSYLTRANSFERASES.
