Whereas protein engineering of enzymes and structural proteins nowadays is an
established research tool for studying structure-function relationships of polypeptides and for …

Bacteriocins are antimicrobial peptides or proteins produced by bacteria. Lantibiotics are a
class of bacteriocin produced by gram-positive bacteria that are characterized by the …

Nisin A is the most widely characterized lantibiotic investigated to date. It represents one of
the many antimicrobial peptides which have been the focus of much interest as potential …

Background Lantibiotics are post-translationally modified antimicrobial peptides, of which
nisin A is the most extensively studied example. Bioengineering of nisin A has resulted in …

Bacteriocins are bacterially produced peptides or proteins that inhibit the growth of other
bacterial strains. They can have a broad (effective against multiple genera) or narrow …

The lantibiotics are a group of ribosomally synthesised, post-translationally modified
peptides containing unusual amino acids, such as dehydrated and lanthionine residues …

Lantibiotics are a diverse group of heavily modified antimicrobial and/or signalling peptides
produced by a wide range of bacteria, including a variety of lactic acid bacteria. Based on …

In order to develop bacteriocins, like the lantibiotic nisin A, into effective alternatives to
existing antibiotics, their biophysical and physicochemical properties must first be assessed …

Lantibiotics are ribosomally-synthesised antimicrobial peptides produced by Gram-positive
bacteria that are characterised by the presence of lanthionine and/or methyllanthionine …

Lantibiotics are posttranslationally modified peptides with efficient inhibitory activity against
various Gram-positive bacteria. In addition to the original modifications, incorporation of non …
