Nonribosomal Peptides Analysis Services

Nonribosomal peptides (NRPs) are a structurally complex and functionally diverse family of secondary metabolites synthesized by nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs). Unlike conventional ribosomal peptides, NRPs are assembled independently of messenger RNA and often incorporate non-standard amino acids, generating a wide range of cyclic, branched, or modified structures. These molecules display diverse biological activities—acting as antibiotics, siderophores, pigments, cytotoxins, and immunosuppressants—making them an important subject of interest in pharmaceutical, agricultural, and biotechnological research.
