Layman's explanation: Ascidiacyclamide is part of the family of cyclic peptides and is usually found in coral reef systems throughout the tropical pacific. Ascidians use the molecule as a defense mechanism since it is cytotoxic. Ascidiacyclamide is isolated from the ascidian lissoclinum patella, which harbors a photosynthetic alga called procloron. There has been a great deal of speculation in the literature about this association and which one or both organisms biosynthesizes the peptides, although there is little hard evidence to support the speculation. Several research groups have reported syntheses of various members of the peptide family; there are also reports that these peptides sequester metals.
