The l-alanyl-l-alanine (AA) molecule behaves differently in acidic, neutral, and basic environments. Because of its molecular flexibility and strong interaction with the aqueous environment, its behavior has to be deduced from the NMR spectra indirectly, using statistical methods and comparison

The emergence of bacteria resistant to vancomycin, often the antibiotic of last resort, poses a major health problem. Vancomycin-resistant bacteria sense a glycopeptide antibiotic challenge and remodel their cell wall precursor peptidoglycan terminus from d-Ala-d-Ala to d-Ala-d-Lac, reducing the binding
