Vancomycin is an antibiotic used to treat a number of bacterial infections. Vancomycin acts by inhibiting proper cell wall synthesis in gram-positive bacteria. Due to the different mechanism by which gram-negative bacteria produce their cell walls and the various factors related to entering the outer membrane of gram-negative organisms, vancomycin is not active against gram-negative bacteria (except some nongonococcal species of Neisseria). The large hydrophilic molecule is able to form hydrogen bond interactions with the terminal D-alanyl-D-alanine moieties of the NAM/NAG-peptides. Under normal circumstances, this is a five-point interaction.
