Table 2. Analysis of amino acid composition of purified peptidoglycan of EMRSA-16 in the presence or absence of rhodomyrtone.
Molar mass ratio relative to glutamic acida | ||
Amino acid | Rhodomyrtone-treated cells | Untreated cells |
Alanine | 1.70 | 2.13 |
Glutamic acid | 1.00 | 1.00 |
Glycine | 3.33 | 3.94 |
Lysine | 0.97 | 1.05 |
Molar ratios normalized to Glutamic acid = 1.0, based on amino acid composition and molecular weight.
