Non-Ribosomal Peptide Biosynthesis and Engineering: Methods and Protocols

by Michael Burkart (Editor), Fumihiro Ishikawa (Editor)

Overview

This volume provides new technologies on NRPSs and related carrier protein dependent synthases, including polyketide synthases (PKS) and fatty acid synthases (FAS). Chapters detail enzymology, structural biology, proteopromics, chemical biology, natural product chemistry, and bioinformatics. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and methods, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible prools.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Non-Ribosomal Peptide Biosynthesis and Engineering: Methods and Prools aims to feature methods that will be beneficial to new researchers, and those wanting to adopt new methodologies into their research.
