Abstract

Condensation domains of nonribosomal peptide synthetase machineries have so far escaped detailed structural analysis. In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Bloudoff et al. (2016) describe a protein tethering technique that allowed the authors to obtain structural information on the substrate bound state of the first condensation domain from calcium-dependent antibiotic biosynthesis, thus opening a new window into how these important biosynthetic machineries function.
