Minimally invasive mutagenesis gives rise to a biosynthetic polyketide library

Angew Chem Int Ed Engl. 2012 Oct 15;51(42):10664-9. doi: 10.1002/anie.201202438. Epub 2012 Sep 20.

Abstract

Not in the public domain: Site-directed mutagenesis of megasynthases was the key to the generation of a library of polyketides in bacteria. Redox derivatizations are used to change the bioactivity profile of the compounds.
