| peptidoglycan | Cross linked polysaccharide peptide complex of indefinite size found in the inner cell wall of all bacteria (50% of the wall in gram-negative, 10% in gram-positive). Consists of chains of approximately 20 residues of _(1-4) linked N acetyl glucosamine and N acetyl muramic acid cross linked by small peptides (4-10 residues). (18 Nov 1997) |
