PEPTIDE DEFORMYLASE: A MODELING STUDY OF THE ACTIVE SITES OF PLANTS AND BACTERIA AND THE DESIGN, SYNTHESIS, AND BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY ANALYSIS OF PEPTIDE-BASED INHIBITORS
All nascent polypeptides synthesized in bacteria, mitochondria, or chloroplastsstart with a N-formylmethionine. Peptide deformylase (PDF) is a mononuclear metal ionprotein that is responsible for removing the N-formyl group of nascent proteins found inbacteria and chloroplasts in order for them to b...
