Crystal Structure and Conformational Dynamics of N─N Bond‐Forming Piperazate Synthase
Piperazate synthases (PZSs) catalyze the key N─N bond formation in the biosynthesis of the rare amino acid piperazic acid. X‐ray crystal structures of apo‐ and holo‐SbPZS show a dimeric enzyme with two heme‐containing active sites, where histidine residues coordinate the iron centers.

Norine: A powerful resource for novel nonribosomal peptide discovery
Since its first release in 2008, Norine remains the unique resource completely devoted to nonribosomal peptides (NRPs). They are very attractive microbial secondary metabolites, displaying a remarkable diversity of structure and functions. Norine (http://

Integrating genomics and metabolomics for scalable non-ribosomal peptide discovery
Current genome mining methods predict many putative non-ribosomal peptides (NRPs) from their corresponding biosynthetic gene clusters, but it remains unclear which of those exist in nature and how to identify their post-assembly modifications.

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.

Structure and Function of a Dehydrating Condensation Domain in Nonribosomal Peptide Biosynthesis
Dehydroamino acids are important structural motifs and biosynthetic intermediates for natural products. Many bioactive natural products of nonribosomal origin contain dehydroamino acids; however, the biosynthesis of dehydroamino acids in most ...

Delftibactin-A, a Non-ribosomal Peptide With Broad Antimicrobial Activity
The rapid emergence of drug resistant bacteria is occurring worldwide, outpacing the development of new antibiotics. It is known that some of the main sources of antibiotics are the bacteria themselves, many of which are secondary metabolites of Gram ...

Structural basis of nonribosomal peptide macrocyclization in fungi [PDF]
Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) in fungi biosynthesize important pharmaceutical compounds, including penicillin, cyclosporine and echinocandin. To understand the fungal strategy of forging the macrocyclic peptide linkage, we determined the crystal structures of the terminal condensation-like (CT) domain and the holo thiolation (T)-CT complex ...
