[Biosynthesis of peptides: a non-ribosomal system]
Abstract
The biosynthesis of peptides in nonribosomal systems is accomplished by complex multienzymes. These multienzymes assemble the required template for the construction of each natural product in the form of linearly coupled modules. This organization principle permits the integration of multistep synthetic processes on a single macromolecule.
