Biocatalytic production of bicyclic β-lactams with three contiguous chiral centres using engineered crotonases

There is a need to develop asymmetric routes to functionalised β-lactams, which remain the most important group of antibacterials. Here we describe biocatalytic and protein engineering studies concerning carbapenem biosynthesis enzymes, aiming to enable stereoselective production of functionalised c...
