Q. what is the specific role of Bactoprenol (C55 lipid carrier) in the synthesis of peptidoglycan?

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  1. It hydrolyzes the beta-1,4 glycosidic bonds to create insertion points in the existing cell wall.
  2. It makes the NAM-NAG-pentapeptide precursors hydrophobic, allowing them to flip across the cytoplasmic membrane.
  3. It catalyzes the formation of new glycosidic bonds to extend the sugar backbone.
  4. It cross-links the peptide side chains, releasing D-Alanine as an energy source.
