Melphalan is a frequently used chemotherapeutical agent for the treatment of myeloma, breast cancer, ovarian cancer and sarcoma of soft tissue. A good knowledge of the reactivity of the drug toward the different amino acids, e.g. covalent adduct formation, is
Marine sponges often house small-molecule-producing symbionts extracellularly in their mesohyl, providing the host with a means of chemical defence against predation and microbial infection. Here, we report an intriguing case of chemically mediated symbiosis between the renieramycin-containing sponge Haliclona sp.

An enzyme fraction with catalytic activities for the biosynthesis of the pipecolic acid containing cyclopeptolide SDZ 90-215 was partially purified and characterized from the genus Septoria. The crude cell homogenate was subjected to polyethyleneimine precipitation, ammonium sulfate precipitation and FPLC

Although incorporation of amino acid analogs provides a powerful means of producing new protein structures with interesting functions, many amino acid analogs cannot be incorporated easily by using the wild-type aminoacyl-tRNA synthetase (aaRS). To be able to incorporate specific amino
