Nonribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) are large modular enzymes responsible for the synthesis of a variety of microbial bioactive peptides. They consist of modules that each recognise and incorporate one specific amino acid into the peptide product. A module comprises several domains, which carry out the individual reaction steps. After activation by the adenylation domain, the amino acid substrate is covalently tethered to a 4'-phosphopantetheinyl cofactor of a peptidyl carrier domain (PCP) that passes the substrate to the reaction centres of the consecutive domains.
