Discovery of Novel Type II Bacteriocins Using a New High-Dimensional Bioinformatic Algorithm
Antimicrobial compounds first arose in prokaryotes by necessity for competitive self-defense. In this light, prokaryotes invented the first host defense peptides. Among the most well-characterized of these peptides are class II bacteriocins, ribosomally-synthesized polypeptides produced chiefly by G...
