Acyl carrier protein

The acyl carrier protein (ACP) is a cofactor of both fatty acid and polyketide biosynthesis machinery.

See Echinomycin and Acyl carrier protein

Adenylylation

Adenylylation, more commonly known as AMPylation, is a process in which an adenosine monophosphate (AMP) molecule is covalently attached to the amino acid side chain of a protein.

See Echinomycin and Adenylylation

Antibiotic

An antibiotic is a type of antimicrobial substance active against bacteria. Echinomycin and antibiotic are Antibiotics.

Disulfide

In chemistry, a disulfide (or disulphide in British English) is a compound containing a functional group or the anion.

See Echinomycin and Disulfide

DNA

Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a polymer composed of two polynucleotide chains that coil around each other to form a double helix.

See Echinomycin and DNA

Hypoxia-inducible factor

Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are transcription factors that respond to decreases in available oxygen in the cellular environment, or hypoxia.

See Echinomycin and Hypoxia-inducible factor

Intercalation (biochemistry)

In biochemistry, intercalation is the insertion of molecules between the planar bases of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

See Echinomycin and Intercalation (biochemistry)

Methyltransferase

Methyltransferases are a large group of enzymes that all methylate their substrates but can be split into several subclasses based on their structural features.

See Echinomycin and Methyltransferase

Nikkomycin

Nikkomycins are a group of antifungal medications.

See Echinomycin and Nikkomycin

Nonribosomal peptide

Nonribosomal peptides (NRP) are a class of peptide secondary metabolites, usually produced by microorganisms like bacteria and fungi. Echinomycin and Nonribosomal peptide are Antibiotics.

Peptide

Peptides are short chains of amino acids linked by peptide bonds.

S-Adenosyl methionine

S-Adenosyl methionine (SAM), also known under the commercial names of SAMe, SAM-e, or AdoMet, is a common cosubstrate involved in methyl group transfers, transsulfuration, and aminopropylation.
