A study of the functional domains of the type I iterative polyketide synthase CalE8 in calicheamicin biosynthesis

Naturally occurring enediynes are potent antibiotics produced by soil and marine microorganisms. Their robust antitumor activities and unique mode of action make them a significant topic of study. The synthesis of the enediyne products is initiated by a type I iterative polyketide synthase (PKS). In...
