Mutasynthesis - uniting chemistry and genetics for drug discovery.

Abstract excerpt

Mutasynthesis couples the power of chemical synthesis with molecular biology to generate derivatives of medicinally valuable, natural products. Recently, this technique has been exploited by Cambridge-based biotech company Biotica Technology Ltd, and their collaborators, to generate promising new variants of the polyketide anti-cancer compounds rapamycin and borrelidin.
