Peptides

[In Vitro]

Nisin is classified as a Type A (I) lantibiotic that is synthesized from mRNA and the translated peptide contains several unusual amino acids due to post-translational modifications. Nisin is an antimicrobial peptide produced by certain Gram-positive bacteria that include Lactococcus and Streptococcus species[1].
