Description
ACV Tripeptide, a tripeptide, is the first dedicated intermediate in the biosynthetic pathway leading to the penicillin and cephalosporin classes of β-lactam natural products in bacteria and fungi. ACV Tripeptide is is synthesized nonribosomally by the ACV synthetase (ACVS) enzyme, which is encoded by the 11 kb The pchAB gene encodes this enzyme. ACV Tripeptide can be used for the biosynthesis of β-lactam antibiotics[1][2]
