Engineering DNA-Templated Nonribosomal Peptide Synthesis [PDF]
Cell Chemical Biology, 2020 Abstract Nanocontainers or macromolecular scaffolds for artificial biocatalytic cascades facilitate sequential enzyme reactions but diffusive escape of intermediates limits rate enhancement. Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS) naturally form gigantic assembly lines and prevent escape by covalently tethering intermediates.

Piecing together nonribosomal peptide synthesis
Current Opinion in Structural Biology, 2018 Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) produce peptide products with wide-ranging biological activities. NRPSs are macromolecular machines with modular assembly-line logic, a complex catalytic cycle, moving parts and multiple active sites. They are organized into repeating sets of domains, called modules.
