Open AccessDocking-guided rational engineering of a macrolide glycosyltransferase glycodiversifies epothilone B
Glycosyltransferases typically display acceptor substrate flexibility but more stringent donor specificity. BsGT-1 is a highly effective glycosyltransferase to glycosylate macrolides, including epothilones, pr...

Open AccessComparative genome anatomy reveals evolutionary insights into a unique amphitriploid fish
Triploids are rare in nature because of difficulties in meiotic and gametogenic processes, especially in vertebrates. The Carassius complex of cyprinid teleosts contains sexual tetraploid crucian carp/goldfish (C...

Open AccessSynthetic macrolides overcoming MLSBK-resistant pathogens
Conventional macrolide-lincosamide-streptogramin B-ketolide (MLSBK) antibiotics are unable to counter the growing challenge of antibiotic resistance that is conferred by the constitutive methylation of rRNA base ...
