AI tools contribute to elucidating the enzyme mechanism of lasso peptides

Source: Nature Chemical Biology (2024). DOI: 10.1038/s41589-024-01727-w Lasso peptides are natural substances made by bacteria. Their unusual shape gives them incredible stability, protecting them from harsh conditions. In a new study published in Nature Chemical Biology, researchers built and tested a model of how these peptides are made and showed how this information could be used to advance lasso peptide-based…
