RT info:eu-repo/semantics/bookPart T1 Biosynthetic rules for marcrolide construction A1 Aparicio Fernández, Jesús Manuel A1 Mendes, Marta V. A1 Antón Fidalgo, Nuria A1 Martín Martín, Juan Francisco K1 Microbiología K1 Microbiology K1 Bioquímica K1 Biochemistry AB Macrolides constitute a large class of naturalmetabolites produced by giant multifunctionalenzymes in a process resembling fatty acidbiosynthesis. Like f atty acids, macrolides and otherpolyketides are assernbled by decarboxylativecondensations of simple carboxylic acids. But whilefatty acid intermediates are fully reduced, macrolideand other polyketide intermediates suffer thesuppression of reduction or dehydration reactions atgiven biosynthetic steps. In the last years muchprogress has 'been made in our understanding of thelinear and modular organisation of the gene clusters,and the enzymes encoded by them, responsiblefor...
