Abstract

acyl carrier protein (ACP) fatty acid synthase (FAS) ketoreductase (KR) polyketide synthase (PKS) sequence–structure–function correlation
This chapter describes structural and associated enzymological studies of polyketide synthases. The sequence‐structure‐function relationship of polyketide biosynthesis, compared with homologous fatty acid synthesis, is discussed in detail. The structural and functional studies shed light on sequence and structural motifs important for the timing, substrate recognition, enzyme catalysis and protein‐protein interactions leading to the extraordinary structural diversity of naturally‐occurring polyketides.
