 Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides

Ribosomally synthesized and post-translationally modified peptides (RiPPs) are a class of biologically active peptides that are produced by ribosomal translation of genes and subsequently undergo various post-translational modifications. ### Key Features of RiPPs: 1. **Ribosomal Synthesis**: RiPPs are encoded by genes and synthesized by ribosomes. This differentiates them from other peptides and proteins that may be synthesized via non-ribosomal pathways (e.
