Formation of the bacterial cell wall, during the process of cell division. When the bacterial cell is dividing, it needs to cross-link strings of polymers involving sugars and peptide chains of amino acids. In order for this to happen, it introduces an enzyme called transpeptidase. Penicillin is now known to block the action of transpeptidase during bacterial cell division. It...

Penicillin was one of the first antibiotics discovered by A.Fleming. The accidental findings lead to treatment of worldwide spread disease as penicillin molecule inhibited the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall by mimicking the acyl-D-alanyl-D-alanine of peptide side chain and soon the new peptidoglycan (PGN) formation is stopped and bacteria cell is susceptible to osmotic rupture and therefore killing the...
