Abstract excerpt
Cyclodipeptide synthases (CDPSs) perform nonribosomal protein synthesis using two aminoacyl-tRNA substrates to produce cyclodipeptides. At present, there are no structural details of the CDPS:tRNA interaction available. Using AlbC, a CDPS that produces cyclo(l-Phe-l-Phe), the interaction between AlbC and its Phe-tRNA substrate was investigated. Simulations of models of the AlbC:tRNA complex, proposed by...
