Animation Illustrating the Role of Penicillins in Blocking Transpeptidase Enzymes from Assembling the Peptide
Cross-Links in Peptidoglycan
Penicillins and cephalosporins bind to the transpeptidase enzyme and block the formation of the peptide cross-links. This results in a weak cell wall and osmotic lysis of the bacterium. Gary Kaiser

Synthesis of Peptidoglycan
During normal bacterial growth, bacterial enzymes called autolysins put breaks in the peptidoglycan in order to allow for insertion of peptidoglycan building blocks (monomers of NAG-NAM-peptide). Transpeptidase enzymes join the peptide of one monomer with that of another in order to provide strength to the cell wall.
