Identify the correctly paired peptidoglycan targets and their detroyers: (Select all that apply)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A) NAG-NAM linkages are the glycosidic bonds that connect the N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and N-acetylmuramic acid (NAM) residues in the peptidoglycan layer. Lysozyme is an enzyme that cleaves these linkages, leading to cell lysis or death.
C) Polyglycine peptide crossbridges are the type of crosslinks present in the peptidoglycan layer of Staphylococcus aureus. Lysostaphin is an enzyme that specifically cleaves these crosslinks, leading to cell lysis or death.

B, D, and E are incorrect because they do not have the correct target and/or destroyer paired correctly with each other.
