Abstract excerpt
Antimycins are anticancer compounds produced by a hybrid nonribosomal peptide synthetase/polyketide synthase (NRPS/PKS) pathway. The biosynthesis of these compounds is well characterized, with the exception of the standalone β-ketoreductase enzyme AntM that is proposed to catalyze the reduction of the C8 carbonyl of the antimycin scaffold. Inactivation of antM and structural characterization suggested that rather...
