Abstract excerpt
A precursor-directed method for the biosynthesis of novel 6-deoxyerythronolide B derivatives has been extended to allow alteration of the functionality at C-12. We recently described a simple and practical method for harnessing the biosynthetic potential of the erythromycin pathway to generate novel molecules of natural product-like complexity by feeding designed synthetic molecules to an engineered mutant strain...
