Description preview

Complex glycoconjugates play a pivotal role in bacterial survival, colonization, and virulence, and
contribute to the interactions between symbiotic and pathogenic bacteria and their human hosts. Assembly

of these macromolecules is initiated on the cytoplasmic face of cell membranes, catalyzed by polyprenol

phosphate (PrenP) phosphoglycosyl…
