    Insight into the role of a trans-AT polyketide synthase in the biosynthesis of lankacidin-type natural products

    Modular polyketide synthases (type I PKSs) are biosynthetic assembly lines for synthesizing a diverse array of natural products. While most PKSs exhibit a linear module architecture, the PKS system for lankaci...
