De Novo Sequencing of Nonribosomal Peptides at RECOMB 2008 (1 of 2)

Caption: Determining the structure of unknown natural compounds is a slow and expensive part of drug screening and development -- but this may now change thanks to a new combination of experimental and computational protocols developed at the University of California, San Diego and presented at RECOMB 2008 (Research in Computational Molecular Biology) on March 31 in Singapore. This image is figure 2 from the paper.
