This project explores the incorporation of non-natural building blocks into antimicrobial peptides to enhance their effectiveness. By studying a specific enzyme involved in peptide biosynthesis, the goal is to develop a more efficient method for producing peptides with improved properties under mild conditions.
Peptides found in nature, such as penicillin, are a vital source of the antibiotics used to combat infections.
While many of these peptides possess useful antimicrobial properties, scientists often need to enhance their effectiveness by replacing some of their amino acid components with special, non-natural ones.
This modification aims to identify superior antibiotic candidates with improved traits such as solubility, selectivity, and reduced toxicity.
One such building block in this process is…
