A mass spectrometry-guided genome mining approach for natural product peptidogenomics. | Natural Products Chemistry Breaking News | Scoop.it

Roland D. Kersten at Moore's lab describes natural product peptidogenomics (NPP), a new MS-guided genome-mining method that connects the chemotypes of peptide natural products to their biosynthetic gene clusters by iteratively matching de novo tandem MS (MS(n)) structures to genomics-based structures following biosynthetic logic.
