Abstract excerpt
The interaction between enzymes of a nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) complex relies on the interplay of compatible sets of donor and acceptor communication-mediating (COM) domains. Hence, these domains are essential for the formation of a defined biosynthetic template, thereby directing the synthesis of a specific peptide product. Without the selectivity provided by different sets of COM domains, NRPSs...
