Term Name: nonribosomal peptide biosynthetic process
Synonyms: non-ribosomal peptide biosynthesis, non-ribosomal peptide biosynthetic process, non-ribosomal peptide formation, non-ribosomal peptide synthesis, nonribosomal peptide anabolism, nonribosomal peptide biosynthesis, nonribosomal peptide formation, nonribosomal peptide synthesis
Definition: The biosynthetic process in which peptide bond formation occurs in the absence of the translational machinery. Examples include the synthesis of antibiotic peptides, and glutathione.
