Structure and mechanism for iterative amide N-methylation in the biosynthesis of channel-forming peptide cytotoxins

The polytheonamides are highly modified and potent, cytotoxic peptides with a unique β-helical structure (helical diameter ∼4 Å) that affords selective membrane permeation of monovalent cations. Toxicity has been linked to promiscuous ion-channel behavior in studies of the prototypical polytheonamid...
