Abstract excerpt
Amatoxins are ribosomally encoded and posttranslationally modified peptides that account for the majority of fatal mushroom poisonings of humans. A representative amatoxin is the bicyclic octapeptide α-amanitin, formed via head-to-tail macrocyclization, which is ribosomally biosynthesized as a 35...
