👉 In biology, transpeptidation refers to a process by which certain proteins can be broken down into smaller fragments that can be utilized for different purposes. This process is often involved in processes such as protein folding and degradation, where it allows small molecules to be removed from the cell's interior without affecting its function. Transpeptidation involves multiple steps: first, the protein undergoes a conformational change, leading to the formation of a smaller fragment (transpeptid) that
