Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces toyocaensis produces A47934, a teicoplanin-like type-IV glycopeptide with antibiotic activity against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. A47934 differs from the type-I vancomycin glycopeptides, which possess a tricyclic peptide backbone, by the presence of an additional ring closure between the aromatic amino acids 1 and 3. To elucidate the order of crosslinking reactions, P450...
