Abstract
Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) biosynthesize nonribosomal peptide (NRP) natural products, which belong to the most promising resources for drug discovery and development because of their wide range of therapeutic applications. The results of genetic, biochemical, and bioinformatics analyses have enhanced our understanding of the mechanisms of the NRPS machinery. A major goal in NRP biosynthesis is to reprogram the NRPS machinery to enable the biosynthetic production of designed peptides. Reprogramming strategies for the NRPS machinery have progressed considerably in recent years, thereby increasing the yields and generating modified peptides. Here, the recent progress in NRPS reprogramming and its application in peptide synthesis are described.
期刊介绍:
The official Journal of the European Peptide Society EPS
The Journal of Peptide Science is a cooperative venture of John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and the European Peptide Society, undertaken for the advancement of international peptide science by the publication of original research results and reviews. The Journal of Peptide Science publishes three types of articles: Research Articles, Rapid Communications and Reviews.
The scope of the Journal embraces the whole range of peptide chemistry and biology: the isolation, characterisation, synthesis properties (chemical, physical, conformational, pharmacological, endocrine and immunological) and applications of natural peptides; studies of their analogues, including peptidomimetics; peptide antibiotics and other peptide-derived complex natural products; peptide and peptide-related drug design and development; peptide materials and nanomaterials science; combinatorial peptide research; the chemical synthesis of proteins; and methodological advances in all these areas. The spectrum of interests is well illustrated by the published proceedings of the regular international Symposia of the European, American, Japanese, Australian, Chinese and Indian Peptide Societies.
