Radical cyclisation in RiPP biosynthesis. A) AlbA-catalysed formation of thioethers in the biosynthesis of subtilosin. The mechanism for deoxyadenosine radical formation is consistent throughout most radical SAM enzymes. B) Mechanism of carbon–carbon cross-linking in streptide biosynthesis. C) Proposed carbon–carbon bond formation by SPASM protein PqqE in the biosynthesis of pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ).
