چکیده
Amide peptide backbone methylation is a characteristic post-translational modification found in family of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified natural products (RiPPs) called borosins. Previously, we bioinformatically identified >1500...

Structure-based discovery of natural-product-like TNF-α inhibitors.
Small but effective: two natural-product-like inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α; represented in green in the picture) have been identified using structure-based virtual screening. These compounds represent only the third and fourth examples of direct targeting of TNF-α by a small molecule, and display potency comparable to that of the strongest TNF-α inhibitor reported to date.
متن کاملNatural product-guided discovery of a fungal chitinase inhibitor.
Natural products are often large, synthetically intractable molecules, yet frequently offer surprising inroads into previously unexplored chemical space for enzyme inhibitors. Argifin is a cyclic pentapeptide that was originally isolated as a fungal natural product. It competitively inhibits family 18 chitinases by mimicking the chitooligosaccharide substrate of these enzymes. Interestingly, ar...
متن کاملThe "PepSAVI-MS" Pipeline for Natural Product Bioactive Peptide Discovery.
The recent increase in extensively drug-resistant bacterial pathogens and the associated increase of morbidity and mortality demonstrate the immediate need for new antibiotic backbones with novel mechanisms of action. Here, we report the development of the PepSAVI-MS pipeline for bioactive peptide discovery. This highly versatile platform employs mass spectrometry and statistics to identify bio...
