Vancomycin's mechanism of action against S. aureus. Vancomycin inhibits the cross-bridge formation between pentagen and pentaglycine by binding to the D-Ala-D-Ala residues of pentapeptide's C-terminal D-Ala-D-Ala. The GlcNAc stands for N-acetylglucosamine; the MurNAc stands for N-acetylmuramic acid.
