Abstract excerpt
Cyclosporin synthetase was isolated from a cyclosporin non-producing mutant of Beauveria nivea, strain YP 582. The enzyme has a molecular mass in the range of active cyclosporin synthetase and also contains 4'-phosphopantetheine as a prosthetic group. It is able to activate all constituent amino acids of cyclosporin A as thioesters and to carry out specific N-methylation reactions. Overall synthesis of the...
