Chemistry – A European Journal, Volume 32, Issue 24, 23 June 2026.This review highlights biocatalytic prenylation as a versatile strategy for tailoring the functional properties of peptides and proteins. By comparing branched isoprenoids with linear lipids, we illustrate how specific prenyl architectures modulate the behaviors of lipidated proteins within membrane environments.

rBAN: retro-biosynthetic analysis of nonribosomal peptides [PDF]
Journal of Cheminformatics, 2019 Proteinogenic and non-proteinogenic amino acids, fatty acids or glycans are some of the main building blocks of nonribsosomal peptides (NRPs) and as such may give insight into the origin, biosynthesis and bioactivities of their constitutive peptides.

Toxins, 2020 Prokaryotes represent a source of both biotechnological and pharmaceutical molecules of importance, such as nonribosomal peptides (NRPs). NRPs are secondary metabolites which their synthesis is independent of ribosomes.

Molecular Plant-Microbe Interactions, 2015 The Sfp-type 4′-phosphopantetheinyl transferase Ppt1 is required for activation of nonribosomal peptide synthetases, including α-aminoadipate reductase (AAR) for lysine biosynthesis and polyketide synthases, enzymes that biosynthesize peptide and ...

Current Research in Structural Biology, 2020 The recently discovered antibiotic teixobactin is produced by uncultured soil bacteria. The antibiotic inhibits cell wall synthesis of Gram-positive bacteria by binding to precursors of cell wall building blocks, and therefore it is thought to be less ...

Distinct roles for intra- and extracellular siderophores during Aspergillus fumigatus infection.
PLoS Pathogens, 2007 Siderophore biosynthesis by the highly lethal mould Aspergillus fumigatus is essential for virulence, but non-existent in humans, presenting a rare opportunity to strategize therapeutically against this pathogen.

Mechanistic Insights Into the Biosynthesis of Pseurotin A in Aspergillus fumigatus
Small StructuresThe biosynthesis of pseurotin A, a fungal metabolite with antibiotic and immunosuppressive properties, involves a group of enzymes, including a polyketide‐nonribosomal peptide synthase (PKS‐NRPS), PsoA, and a bifunctional enzyme, PsoF. PsoA consists of a
