Schematic representation of the minimal repetitive unit of peptidoglycan with the cleavage sites for the enzymes lysostaphin and NAMLAA. Lysostaphin cuts between N-acetyl-muramic acid (NAM) and N-acetylglucosamine (NAG) molecules, whereas NAMLAA cleaves the amide bond between N-acetyl-muramic acid and l-alanine.
