Towards engineered polyketides

Expert Opinion on Investigational Drugs, 1998
Rapid advances have been made over the past 10 years in the identification of the biosynthetic machinery that carries out the biosynthesis of polyketide natural products. Many such compounds are used in various therapeutic areas, including antibacterials, anticancer, antifungals and cholesterol lowering.

Biosynthesis of polyketides by trans-AT polyketide synthases

Natural Product Reports, 2016
This review discusses the biosynthesis of natural products that are generated bytrans-AT polyketide synthases, a family of catalytically versatile enzymes that represents one of the major group of proteins involved in the production of bioactive polyketides.

Engineering of modular polyketide synthases to produce novel polyketides

Current Opinion in Biotechnology, 1998
Polyketides are important natural products produced by Actinomycetes and other organisms via the polymerization of coenzyme A-activated carboxylic acids. Modular polyketide synthases are large multifunctional enzymes that direct the biosynthetic process using a dedicated 'module' for each polymerization reaction, which specifies the unit to be ...
