| glycopeptide alpha-N-acetylgalactosaminidase | <enzyme> Hydrolyzes terminal d-galactosyl-n-acetyl-alpha-d-galactosaminide residues from glycopeptides and glycoproteins linked by serine or threonine residues Registry number: EC 3.2.1.97 Synonym: o-glycanase (26 Jun 1999) |
| glycopeptides | Proteins which contain carbohydrate groups attached covalently to the polypeptide chain. The protein moiety is the predominant group with the carbohydrate making up only a small percentage of the total weight. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antibiotics, glycopeptide | Antibiotics whose structure contains one or more cyclic peptides to which are attached one or more deoxy sugars in glycosidic linkage. They are generally effective against gram-positive bacteria and act by inhibiting peptidoglycan synthesis in bacterial cell walls. (12 Dec 1998) |
