Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptide natural products: overview and recommendations for a universal nomenclature

Nat Prod Rep. 2013 Jan;30(1):108-60. doi: 10.1039/c2np20085f.

Abstract

This review presents recommended nomenclature for the biosynthesis of ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs), a rapidly growing class of natural products. The current knowledge regarding the biosynthesis of the >20 distinct compound classes is also reviewed, and commonalities are discussed.
