Primary structures of nisin Q and its replacement amino acid residues relative to the other nisin variants, nisin A and Z. Solid arrows indicate replacement residues for both nisin A and Z whereas broken arrow indicate nisin A. Unusual post-translationally modified amino acids such as dehydroalanine, dehydrobutyrine, lanthionine, and 3-methyllanthionine are indicated in black.
