Abstract

Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) from microorganisms show high chemical diversity and exhibit potent biological properties.
The computational detection of novel classes of RiPPs is hampered by their short length and the lack of universally conserved genes.
The high false-positive rate of class-independent computational detection approaches can be addressed by validation via mass spectrometry-based metabolomics.
