A bacterial cell is engineered to create peptidoglycan monomers
with the amino acid, D-serine, as the terminal or final amino acid
in the penta-peptide chains; replacing the amino acid that is
typically at that same location. Using the following figure of the
structure of the different amino acids and your knowledge of the
structure of peptidoglycan monomers and the peptidoglycan as a
whole to assist you, determine whether or not the replacement of
terminal amino acid with D-serine should impact the structure of
the peptidoglycan. Support your answer.
