4 Sept 2012
Abstract excerpt
Naturally occurring clavam metabolites include the valuable β-lactamase inhibitor, clavulanic acid, as well as stereochemical variants with side-chain modifications, called the 5S clavams. Because of the clinical importance of clavulanic acid, most studies of clavam biosynthesis are based on the industrial producer species Streptomyces clavuligerus. Well-characterized early steps in clavam biosynthesis are...
