Understanding peptide bond formation in non-ribosomal peptide biosynthesis

该项目旨在通过推进我们对中心肽合成结构域功能的理解，揭示产生非核糖体肽的生物合成机制所表现出的选择性的起源。该项目旨在使用高度跨学科的方法和已开发的基本工具产生有关肽生物合成的新知识。该项目的预期成果将是增强对肽合成过程中底物选择的结构基础的理解，揭示这些关键结构域的特异性代码。这些知识对于未来重新设计这种生物合成肽装配线以生产新的生物活性肽的努力至关重要。

This project aims to uncover the origins of selectivity exhibited by the biosynthetic machinery that produces non-ribosomal peptides through advancing our understanding of how the central peptide synthesis domain functions. This project intends to generate new knowledge about peptide biosynthesis using a highly interdisciplinary approach and essential tools that have been developed. The anticipated outcomes of this project will be an enhanced understanding of the structural basis for substrate selection exhibited during peptide synthesis, revealing the specificity code of these key domains. This knowledge is vital for future efforts to reengineer such biosynthetic peptide assembly lines to produce new bioactive peptides.
