2. Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified ...

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribosomally_synthesized...

   Bacterial Head-to-Tail Cyclized Peptides refers exclusively to ribosomally synthesized peptides with 35-70 residues and a peptide bond between the N- and C-termini, sometimes referred to as bacteriocins, although this term is used more broadly. The distinctive nature of this class is not only the relatively large size of the natural products ...

3. Antimicrobial peptides - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antimicrobial_peptides

   The initial contact between the peptide and the target organism is electrostatic, as most bacterial surfaces are anionic, or hydrophobic, such as in the antimicrobial peptide Piscidin. Their amino acid composition, amphipathicity, cationic charge and size allow them to attach to and insert into membrane bilayers to form pores by ‘barrel-stave ...

4. Peptide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptide

   There are numerous types of peptides that have been classified according to their sources and functions. According to the Handbook of Biologically Active Peptides, some groups of peptides include plant peptides, bacterial/antibiotic peptides, fungal peptides, invertebrate peptides, amphibian/skin peptides, venom peptides, cancer/anticancer peptides, vaccine peptides, immune/inflammatory ...

5. Nonribosomal peptide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonribosomal_peptide

   Nonribosomal peptides (NRP) are a class of peptide secondary metabolites, usually produced by microorganisms like bacteria and fungi. Nonribosomal peptides are also found in higher organisms, such as nudibranchs, but are thought to be made by bacteria inside these organisms. [1] While there exist a wide range of peptides that are not ...

6. Peptidoglycan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peptidoglycan

   The peptide chain can be cross-linked to the peptide chain of another strand forming the 3D mesh-like layer. [1] [2] Peptidoglycan serves a structural role in the bacterial cell wall, giving structural strength, as well as counteracting the osmotic pressure of the cytoplasm. This repetitive linking results in a dense peptidoglycan layer which ...

7. Tryptone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tryptone

   Tryptone is the assortment of peptides formed by the digestion of casein by the protease trypsin. [1] Tryptone is commonly used in microbiology to produce lysogeny broth (LB) for the growth of E. coli and other microorganisms. [2] It provides a source of amino acids for the growing bacteria.

9. Lipopeptide - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipopeptide

   A lipopeptide is a molecule consisting of a lipid connected to a peptide. [1] They are able to self-assemble into different structures. [1] [2] [3] Many bacteria produce these molecules as a part of their metabolism, especially those of the genus Bacillus, Pseudomonas and Streptomyces. [4] Certain lipopeptides are used as antibiotics.
