Lanthipeptides are a class of cyclic post-translationally modified peptides with potential drug-like properties. Here the authors develop a phage display system by expressing lanthipeptide precursors as C-terminal fusions to the phage M13 coat protein pIII in E. coli along with the heterologous modifying enzymes.
