Proposed mechanism for the formation of membrane-associated d-alanyl-LTA from d-alanyl-Dcp. B·· indicates an unknown proton acceptor for generating nucleophile. The electrostatic interaction between d-alanyl-Dcp and the phosphodiester anion may be due to Arg64. Reprinted from reference 261 with permission.
