Peptidoglycan is an essential macromolecule that forms the bacterial cell wall. The recent discovery of new cell wall-polymerizing enzymes not only illuminates the basic biology and evolution of prokaryotes but also provides new targets for the development of antibacterials to combat drug-resistant pathogens.
