Abstract
This review article aims to highlight the role of methyltransferases within the context of ribosomally synthesised and post-translationally modified peptide (RiPP) natural products. Methyltransferases play a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of diverse natural products with unique chemical structures and bioactivities. They are highly chemo-, regio-, and stereoselective allowing methylation at various positions. The different possible acceptor regions in ribosomally synthesised peptides are described in this article. Furthermore, we will discuss the potential application of these methyltransferases as powerful biocatalytic tools in the synthesis of modified peptides and other bioactive compounds. By providing an overview of the various methylation options available, this review is intended to emphasise the biocatalytic potential of RiPP methyltransferases and their impact on the field of natural product chemistry.
