Unravelling the Functional Diversity of Type III Polyketide Synthases in Fungi

open access: yesAngewandte Chemie, EarlyView.
Type III polyketide synthases (T3PKSs) produce diverse compounds of ecological and clinical importance. Here, the activity of 37 fungal T3PKSs was profiled, revealing unexpected products and generating several pharmaceutical precursors. The machine learning model trained on the activity data accurately extrapolates the predictions to other enzymes and ...
