Proteins of the penicillin biosynthesis pathway.
Two sequential steps are common to the biosynthesis of all penicillin-derived antibiotics: the reaction of three L-amino acids to give L-delta-(alpha-aminoadipoyl)-L-cysteinyl-D-valine, and the oxidation of this tripeptide to give isopenicillin N. Recent studies on the peptide synthetase and oxidase...
