N-Acetylmuramic acid (NAM or MurNAc) is an organic compound with the chemical formula C
₁₁H
₁₉NO
₈. It is a monomer of peptidoglycan in most bacterial cell walls, which is built from alternating units of N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) and N-acetylmuramic acid, cross-linked by oligopeptides at the lactic acid residue of MurNAc.
