Abstract
Covering: 1996–2022
Investigations over the last 2 decades have begun to reveal how fungal iterative highly-reducing polyketide synthases are programmed. Both in vitro and in vivo experiments have revealed the interplay of intrinsic and extrinsic selectivity of the component catalytic domains of these systems. Structural biology has begun to provide high resolution structures of hr-PKS that can be used as the basis for their engineering and reprogramming, but progress to-date remains rudimentary. However, significant opportunities exist for translating the current level of understanding into the ability to rationally re-engineer these highly efficient systems for the production of important biologically active compounds through biotechnology.
期刊介绍：
Natural Product Reports (NPR) serves as a pivotal critical review journal propelling advancements in all facets of natural products research, encompassing isolation, structural and stereochemical determination, biosynthesis, biological activity, and synthesis.
With a broad scope, NPR extends its influence into the wider bioinorganic, bioorganic, and chemical biology communities. Covering areas such as enzymology, nucleic acids, genetics, chemical ecology, carbohydrates, primary and secondary metabolism, and analytical techniques, the journal provides insightful articles focusing on key developments shaping the field, rather than offering exhaustive overviews of all results.
NPR encourages authors to infuse their perspectives on developments, trends, and future directions, fostering a dynamic exchange of ideas within the natural products research community.
