Dashti Y, Mohammadipanah F, Zhang Y, Cerqueira Diaz P, Vocat A, Zabala D, et al.
ACS Infect Dis . 2024 Aug; 10(9):3378-3391. PMID: 39189814
Thiopeptides are ribosomally biosynthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) that potently inhibit the growth of Gram-positive bacteria by targeting multiple steps in protein biosynthesis. The poor pharmacological properties of thiopeptides,...
