The bacterial cell wall consists of a three-dimensional peptidoglycan layer, composed of peptides linked to the sugars N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) and GlcNAc. Unlike other bacteria, the pathogenic Tannerella forsythia, a member of the red complex group of bacteria associated with the late stages of periodontitis, lacks biosynthetic pathways for MurNAc production and therefore obtains MurNAc from the environment. Sugar kinases play a crucial role in the MurNAc recycling process, activating the sugar molecules by phosphorylation.

Schizophrenia is a severe psychiatric disorder whose neurodevelopmental pathogenesis includes a prodromal phase before its diagnostically decisive-namely psychotic-symptoms are present. This prodrome is characterized by cognitive and affective deficits, and it may constitute a critical time period for an early therapeutic intervention to improve or even prevent further disease development. N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is an easily repurposable compound that has recently shown promise in improving non-psychotic symptoms in patients with established schizophrenia.
