title: Cyclodipeptide synthases
text: Cyclodipeptide synthases (CDPSs) are a newly defined family of peptide-bond forming enzymes that are responsible for the ribosome-independent biosynthesis of various cyclodipeptides, which are the precursors of many natural products with important biological activities. As a substrate for this synthesis, CDPSs use two amino acids activated as aminoacyl-tRNAs (aa-tRNAs), therefore diverting them from the ribosomal machinery. The first member of this family was identified in 2002 during the charac
