De Novo Sequencing of Nonribosomal Peptides
While nonribosomal peptides (NRPs) are of tremendous pharmacological importance, there is currently no technology capable of highthroughput sequencing of NRPs. Difficulties in sequencing NRPs slow down the progress in elucidating the non-ribosomal genetic code and negatively affect various screening programs aimed at the discovery of natural compounds of medical importance. We propose to employ...
متن کاملNORINE: a database of nonribosomal peptides
Norine is the first database entirely dedicated to nonribosomal peptides (NRPs). In bacteria and fungi, in addition to the traditional ribosomal proteic biosynthesis, an alternative ribosome-independent pathway called NRP synthesis allows peptide production. It is performed by huge protein complexes called nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs). The molecules synthesized by NRPS contain a hig...
متن کاملLearning from nature's drug factories: nonribosomal synthesis of macrocyclic peptides.
With the discovery of penicillin as an efficient antibacterial agent isolated from the fungus Penicillium notatum, microorganisms attracted considerable attention as a new source for pharmaceutical agents. Screening of microbial extracts revealed the large structural diversity of natural compounds with broad biological activities, such as antimicrobial, antiviral, immunosuppressive, and antitum...
متن کاملA new fingerprint to predict nonribosomal peptides activity
Bacteria and fungi use a set of enzymes called nonribosomal peptide synthetases to provide a wide range of natural peptides displaying structural and biological diversity. So, nonribosomal peptides (NRPs) are the basis for some efficient drugs. While discovering new NRPs is very desirable, the process of identifying their biological activity to be used as drugs is a challenge. In this paper, we...
متن کاملAntimicrobial Peptides Derived from Milk: A Review
Milk proteins provide a natural source of bioactive peptides with potential health benefits and applications in the food industry. The release of these peptides from milk proteins is achieved either by hydrolysis using digestive proteases or by lactic acid bacteria fermentation. Peptides, particularly those derived from milk proteins, can exert a wide range of nutritional, functional and biolog...
