Depsipeptide substrates for sortase-mediated N-terminal protein ligation [PDF]
Technologies that allow the efficient chemical modification of proteins under mild conditions are widely sought after. Sortase-mediated peptide ligation provides a strategy for modifying the N or C terminus of proteins. This protocol describes the use of

Protozoan-induced regulation of cyclic lipopeptide biosynthesis Is an effective predation defense mechanism for Pseudomonas fluorescens [PDF]
Environmental bacteria are exposed to a myriad of biotic interactions that influence their function and survival. The grazing activity of protozoan predators significantly impacts the dynamics, diversification, and evolution of bacterial communities in ...

Multicomponent synthesis of hydrazino depsipeptides [PDF]
Multicomponent reactions (MCRs) offer numerous advantages over traditional sequential reactions for the synthesis of diverse structurally demanding compounds. Isocynide-based MCRs, particularly Passerini and Ugi reactions, are of special importance, because they provide peptide-like compounds able to mimic structure and/or function of natural peptides ...

Picocyanobacteria From a Clade Of Marine Cyanobium Revealed Bioactive Potential Against Microalgae, Bacteria, And Marine [PDF]
The production of bioactive compounds either toxic or with pharmacological applications by cyanobacteria is well established. However, picoplanktonic forms within this group of organisms have rarely been studied in this context.

Discovery and Biosynthesis of the Novel Glycotetrapeptide Antibiotic Biffamycin A
Genetic de‐regulation of a silent biosynthetic pathway allowed isolation and characterisation of a novel glycopeptide antibiotic named biffamycin A, which harbours unprecedented 5‐chloro‐4‐methoxy tryptophan and 3R‐hydroxy(α‐D‐mannoysl)‐D‐lysine moieties and is bioactive against MRSA and VRSA.
