Article Synopsis
- Biomacromolecules, like peptides, have complex 3D shapes that are crucial for their functions, with the hexapeptide tryptorubin A being a unique example that can exist in two unusual forms.
- Tryptorubin A is identified as the first member of a new class of peptides called atropopeptides, which are ribosomally synthesized and modified after translation.
- These atropopeptides, modified by a specific enzyme, enhance cell functions related to blood vessel formation and open new avenues for using these enzymes in biochemistry.
