von Ralph W. Jack Kategorie: Sahl, Hans ISBN: 3540636005 Kommentar abgeben

Kurzbeschreibung In the last 10 years a proliferation of information concerning the lantibiotics and related peptide antibiotics has come to the fore. This is the first book to summarize this information comprehensively and concisely. Unlike other reviews, which consider the lantibiotics in isolation, this book brings together for the first time the concepts and interrelationships between lantibiotics and other antibiotics, bacteriocins and antimicrobial peptides. This conceptualization should stimulate new ideas, discussion and research in many areas of antibiotic research.

Synopsis A discussion of lantibiotics and related peptides. It examines topics such as: antimicrobial peptides; chemistry and structures; modification enzymes; biological activities; and peptide engineering. It concludes with a look to the future.
