Abstract excerpt
Isopenicillin N synthase (IPNS) catalyses a key step in the penicillin and cephalosporin biosynthetic pathway which involves the oxidative cyclisation of the acyclic peptide delta-(L-alpha-aminoadipyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine (ACV) to isopenicillin N. Based on crystallographic evidence from the Aspergillus nidulans IPNS crystal structure complexed with the substrate ACV (Roach et al. (1997) Nature 387, 827-830), we...
