Molecular biological access to the chemistry of unknown soil microbes: a new frontier for natural products

TL;DR: The concept of cloning the metagenome to access the collective genomes and the biosynthetic machinery of soil microflora is explored here.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide natural products: Overview and recommendations for a universal nomenclature

Paul G. Arnison, +65 more
TL;DR: This review presents recommended nomenclature for the biosynthesis of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs), a rapidly growing class of natural products.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atomic Structures of the Human Immunophilin FKBP-12 Complexes with FK506 and Rapamycin

TL;DR: High resolution structures for the complexes formed by the immunosuppressive agents FK506 and rapamycin with the human immunophilin FKBP-12 have been determined by X-ray diffraction and suggest ways in which this catalytic activity could operate.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning the soil metagenome: a strategy for accessing the genetic and functional diversity of uncultured microorganisms.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences recovered from one of the libraries indicates that the BAC libraries contain DNA from a wide diversity of microbial phyla, including sequences from diverse taxa such as the low-G+C, gram-positive Acidobacterium,Cytophagales, and Proteobacteria.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lessons from natural molecules

TL;DR: Improvements in approaches for natural-product isolation, characterization and synthesis could be opening the door to a new era in the investigation of natural products in academia and industry.
