Précisions sur la structure des complexes disaccharide-peptide libérés des parois de Micrococcus lysodeikticus sous l'action des β (I → 4) N-acetylhexosaminidases

TL;DR: Two types of disaccaride-peptide complexes have been studied and the reaction with 1-fluoro-2,4 dinitrobenzene shows that the e-NH2 group of lysine is free and the electroheophoretic properties suggest that the γ-COOH group of glutamic acid and an unspecified α-CooH group are free.
