The mega-enzymes non-ribosomal peptide synthetases / polyketide synthases encoded in Lactic Acid Bacteria KU Leuven
The secondary metabolites also known as natural products exhibit a variety of important bioactivities and excellent pharmaceutical properties (as antibiotics, anti-cancers and immune-suppressants) that have successfully been used in the pharmaceutical industry. The secondary metabolites are synthesized by non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) and polyketide synthase (PKS) mega-enzymes, which consist of multiple functional ...
