Marinocyclins, polycationic macrocyclic depsipeptides, were discovered by genome mining from the marine coral‐derived bacterium Aquimarina megaterium. The compounds have broad‐spectrum activity against gram‐positive and gram‐negative ESKAPE bacteria.

Molecular Basis for Activation to Inhibition Switching in Kv7.2 Channel Modulators
The paper describes the serendipitous discovery of chemical manipulation allowing the activator‐to‐inhibitor switching in Kv7.2 channel modulators. The molecular determinants driving this switch have been rationalized by multidisciplinary investigation encompassing synthetic and analytical chemistry, in silico methods, cryo‐EM analysis ...

Gain‐of‐Function Engineering of the NifEN Scaffold Into a Self‐Assembling Nitrogenase
From scaffold to enzyme: Systematic engineering of the cofactor maturation scaffold NifEN reconstructs the P→M electron relay along with cofactor coordination and proton gating at the S2B site, converting NifEN into a functional nitrogenase capable of ATP‐dependent N2 reduction both in vitro and in vivo.

Adenylation Domain Engineering Enables Biosynthesis of an Improved Polymyxin Antibiotic
To enable incorporation of l‐2‐aminodecanoic acid into polymyxin by fermentation, a single Trp‐to‐Ala substitution is rationally introduced into the adenylation‐domain residue of its nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and efficiently switches substrate selectivity. The engineered strain produces biologically active Ada‐polymyxin, demonstrating that
