In the present review, we briefly describe the structures, functions and biosynthesis of teichoic acids. Then the chemical syntheses of TAs and fragments of the polymer chains are described in more detail.

Possible functions for peptidophosphogalactomannan and the new lipopeptidophosphogalactomannan were suggested. It was proposed that phosphogalactomannan may protect, at the time of synthesis as well as later, those enzymes which are destined to become cell wall bound or extracellular. The relationship between structure, function and biosynthesis are discussed.

There is no rigid scheme for classifying natural products—their immense diversity in structure, function, and biosynthesis is too great to allow them to fit neatly into a few simple categories. In practice, however, workers in the field often speak of five main classes of natural products terpenoids and steroids, fatty acid-derived substances and polyketides, alkaloids, nonribosomal polypeptides, and enzyme cofactors.
