Deskripsi
Nonribosomal lipopeptides contain an acyl chain important for bioactivity, but its incorporation into the peptidyl backbone, mediated by the starter condensation (Cs) domain of nonribosomal peptide synthases, is not fully understood. Here, the authors show that acyl chains of different lengths can be obtained by engineering Cs domains and identify residues that determine the selectivity for acyl chains.
