Bioorganic Chemistry

Includes review articles that present synthetic strategies, biosynthesis and the genetics involved; focus on non-template based multienzyme systems; address why polyketides are the most diverse group of natural products, comparing polyketide syntheses with other non-template multienzyme systems; and, deal with angucycline antibiotics. The first review in this book presents synthetic strategies, biosynthesis and the genetics involved. The second review article, on non-template based multienzyme systems, addresses why polyketides are the most diverse group of natural products, comparing polyketide syntheses with other non-template multienzyme systems. The third review deals with angucycline antibiotics, the largest subgroup of polycyclic aromatic polyketides.
