ThioFinder: A Web-Based Tool for the Identification of Thiopeptide Gene Clusters in DNA Sequences
24 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
Thiopeptides are a growing class of sulfur-rich, highly modified heterocyclic peptides that are mainly active against Gram-positive bacteria including various drug-resistant pathogens. Recent studies also reveal that many thiopeptides inhibit the proliferation of human cancer cells, further expanding their application potentials for clinical use. Thiopeptide biosynthesis shares a common paradigm, featuring a...
