Researchers
at Princeton University, in the Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering,
have engineered a gene cluster which encodes for the biosynthesis of a natural
peptide product called Astexin-1. Astexin-1 is a new member of the lasso peptide
class. Molecules of this class are highly stable, engineerable and may be
utilized as molecular...

Princeton
Docket # 11-2663
Researchers
at Princeton University created novel peptide derivatives of the antimicrobial
peptide Microcin J25 (MccJ25) with multiple amino acid substitutions and potent
activity against Gram-negative bacteria. The most potent MccJ25 variants
displayed up to a nearly 5-fold improvement in bacterial growth inhibition...
