A Prevalent Group of Actinobacterial Radical SAM/SPASM Maturases Involved in Triceptide Biosynthesis.
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "ACS chemical biology"
DOI: 10.1021/acschembio.2c00621
Abstract: Triceptides are ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides characterized by three-residue cyclophanes. The cyclophanes are installed by radical SAM/SPASM maturases referred to as 3-residue cyclophane forming enzymes (3-CyFEs) which catalyze C(sp2)-Cβ(sp3) bond formation on three… read more here.

DOI: 10.1161/circulationaha.122.061497
Abstract: Background: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has a unique safety profile when used to treat atrial fibrillation, largely related to its preferentiality for myocardial tissue ablation, in particular, esophageal sparing. A pentaspline catheter was the first… read more here.
