Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This chapter discusses the techniques for analysis of peptidoglycans. The backbone of the eubacterial cell wall is peptidoglycan, a structural macromolecule that gives the wall its strength and integrity, and serves as the infrastructure to which a variety of proteins and lipids may be anchored. The basic molecular structure of peptidoglycan is simple and well established. The definitive identification of the structure of each of muropeptides requires mass spectrometry (MS). Further, the chapter discusses peptidoglycan isolation. A typical protocol for isolation of peptidoglycan from Gram-negative bacteria is discussed in the chapter. To isolate peptidoglycan from Gram positive and acid-fast bacteria, the procedure must be varied to inhibit degradation by endogenous autolytic enzymes and to overcome the stability imparted to the wall by accessory proteins. In addition, the chapter explains reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography (RP-H PLC).
