Biocatalytic Synthesis of Stereospecific Triketide Lactones using Polyketide Synthases [PDF]
Polyketide synthases are modular enzymes that create and modify large acyl chains. The domains and modules of polyketide synthases allow us to create molecules that resemble naturally occurring products by applying a biocatalytic in vitro in vivo ...
