摘要: Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are an important class of natural products that include many antibiotics a variety other bioactive compounds. While recent breakthroughs in RiPP discovery raised the challenge developing new algorithms for their analysis, peptidogenomic-based identification RiPPs by combining genome/metagenome mining with analysis tandem mass spectra remains open problem. We present here MetaRiPPquest, software tool addressing this is compatible large-scale screening platforms product discovery. After searching millions Global Natural Products Social (GNPS) molecular networking infrastructure against just six genomic metagenomic datasets, MetaRiPPquest identified 27 known discovered 5 novel products.
