Abstract excerpt
In many peptide antibiotics, modified amino acids are important for biological activity. The amino acid 3-methyl-glutamic acid (3mGlu) has been found only in three cyclic lipopeptide antibiotics: daptomycin and the A21978C family produced by Streptomyces roseosporus, calcium-dependent antibiotic...
