Problem solved : Thurincin H is an antimicrobial peptide with suspected post‐translational modifications. MS/MS sequencing identified the residues that were modified, and NMR spectroscopic studies in solution led to the 3D structure of thurincin H, which features four SC α thioether crosslinks (yellow in schematic representation). This structure may be representative of several other bacteriocins with identical masses.
