title: Cracking the Nonribosomal Code.
abstract: Landmark achievements in chemical and structural biology have advanced our understanding of nonribosomal peptide synthetase mechanisms. However, nature's proven ability to re-engineer these enzymes remains difficult to recapitulate synthetically. In a recent issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Meyer et al. (2016) sought to extract new clues from old (evolutionary) evidence.
