Abstract

Peptide natural products constitute a major class of secondary metabolites produced by microorganisms (mostly bacteria and fungi). In the past several decades, researchers have gained extensive knowledge about nonribosomal peptides (NRPs) generated by ribosome-independent systems, namely, NRP synthetases (NRPSs). NRPSs are multifunctional enzymes consisting of semiautonomous domains that form a peptide backbone. Using a thiotemplate mechanism that employs assembly-line logic with multiple modules, NRPSs activate, tether, and modify amino acid building blocks, sequentially elongating the peptide chain before releasing the complete peptide. Adenylation, thiolation, condensation, and thioesterase domains play central roles in these reactions. This chapter focuses on the current understanding of these central domains in NRPS assembly-line enzymology.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 16 May 2023.
All research outputs
#16,492,007
of 24,267,449 outputs
Outputs from Methods in molecular biology
#5,714
of 13,666 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#250,023
of 446,503 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Methods in molecular biology
#263
of 669 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,267,449 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 13,666 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.5. This one is in the 42nd percentile – i.e., 42% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 446,503 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 669 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 34th percentile – i.e., 34% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
