  1. The formation of peptide cross-links between adjacent glycan chains in cell synthesis is called
    1. Transglycosylation
    2. Autoglycosylation
    3. Autopeptidation
    4. Transpeptidation
Correct Option: D

Transpeptidation is a reaction involving the transfer of one or more amino acids from one peptide chain to another, as by transpeptidase action, or of a peptide chain itself, as in bacterial cell wall synthesis. The enzyme transpeptidase is also known as DD-transpeptidase, a bacterial enzyme that cross-links the peptidoglycan peptidoglycan chains to form rigid cell walls.
