Engineering a polyketide with a longer chain by insertion of an extra module into the erythromycin-producing polyketide synthase [PDF]
Background: Modular polyketide synthases catalyse the biosynthesis of medically useful natural products by stepwise chain assembly, with each module of enzyme activities catalysing a separate cycle of polyketide chain extension.

Tolerance and Specificity of Polyketide Synthases
Annual Review of Biochemistry, 1999▪ Abstract Polyketide synthases catalyze the assembly of complex natural products from simple precursors such as propionyl-CoA and methylmalonyl-CoA in a biosynthetic process that closely parallels fatty acid biosynthesis. Like fatty acids, polyketides are assembled by successive decarboxylative condensations of simple precursors.

Structures and Mechanisms of Polyketide Synthases
The Journal of Organic Chemistry, 2009Nearly a quarter-century ago, the advent of molecular genetic tools in the field of natural product biosynthesis led to the remarkable revelation that the genes responsible for the biosynthesis, regulation, and self-resistance of complex polyketide antibiotics were clustered in the genomes of the bacteria that produced these compounds.
