Hi, I am trying to insert dehydrated amino acids into a lantibiotic structure.
Lantibiotics have serine and threonine residues that are posttranslationally modified and dehydrated to form 2,3-didehydroalanine (Dha) and 2,3-didehydrobutyrine (Dhb) residues.
How can I insert these dehydrated amino acids in place of serine and threonine?
