Isopenicillin N synthase binds δ-(L-α-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-thia-allo-isoleucine through both sulfur atoms.

Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) catalyses the synthesis of isopenicillin N (IPN), the biosynthetic precursor to penicillin and cephalosporin antibiotics. IPNS is a non-heme iron(II) oxidase that mediates the oxidative cyclisation of the tripeptide δ-L-α-aminoadipoyl-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (ACV) to IPN...
