Covering: up to July 2008 Ribosomally synthesized bacterial natural products rival the
nonribosomal peptides in their structural and functional diversity. The last decade has seen …

Natural products are primal and have been a driver in the evolution of organic chemistry and
ultimately in science. The chemical structures obtained from marine organisms are diverse …

Cyanobacteria are considered to be one of the most promising sources of new, natural
products. Apart from non-ribosomal peptides and polyketides, ribosomally synthesized and …

Patellamides are highly bioactive compounds found along with other cyanobactins in the
symbiosis between didemnid ascidians and the enigmatic cyanobacterium Prochloron. The …

Grassypeptolides A− C (1− 3), a group of closely related bis-thiazoline containing cyclic
depsipeptides, have been isolated from extracts of the marine cyanobacterium Lyngbya …

Azole-based cyclic peptides found in ascidians ('sea squirts') of the genus Lissoclinum have
a high propensity to chelate metal ions. This Highlight summarises the current evidence for …

A combinatorial library encoded on a single gene: Azole-based cyclic peptides identified
from the marine ascidian Lissoclinum patella are produced by its cyanobacterial symbiont …

Post-translationally modified ribosomal peptides are unusual natural products and many
have potent biological activity. The biosynthetic processes involved in their formation have …

Cyclic pseudo-peptides derived from marine metabolites of the genus Lissoclinum bistratum
and Lissoclinum patella have attracted scientific interest in the last two decades. Their …

The copper (ii) coordination chemistry of westiellamide (H3Lwa), as well as of three
synthetic analogues with an [18] azacrown‐6 macrocyclic structure but with three imidazole …
