L-delta-(alpha-Aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine synthetase: thioesterification of valine is not obligatory for peptide bond formation.
L-delta-(alpha-Aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (ACV) synthetase is probably the simplest known peptide synthetase in terms of the number of reactions catalyzed. In the "thiol-template" proposal for nonribosomal peptide synthesis, a key step is transfer of aminoacyl groups derived from t...
