The enzymology of clavam and carbapenem biosynthesis.

The enzyme-catalysed reactions involved in formation of the bicyclic clavam and carbapenem nuclei, including beta-amino acid and beta-lactam formation, are discussed and compared with those involved in penicillin and cephalosporin biosynthesis. The common role of unusual oxidation reactions in the b...
