Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Eric F van Herwerden"
- Eric F van Herwerden's research primarily focuses on the discovery and characterization of unique natural peptides, particularly lanthipeptides, which have notable antibiotic properties and structural complexities, as exemplified by his work on supersized class III lanthipeptides such as stackepeptins.
- His investigations also delve into the chemical synthesis and modification of peptide analogs, specifically targeting modifications that enhance binding affinities to critical cellular targets, contributing to advancements in drug development.
- Furthermore, van Herwerden critiques the shift in drug discovery methods from natural products to synthetic libraries, emphasizing the ongoing significance of natural compounds in finding novel therapeutic leads despite the prevalence of high-throughput screening techniques.
