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 no...
