Reprogramming of the antimycin NRPS-PKS assembly lines inspired by gene evolution

Modifying the non-ribosomal peptide synthase (NRPS)/polyketide synthase (PKS) pathway to generate novel non-ribosomal peptides often results in a loss of productivity. Here the authors use evolutionary alignments of NRPS/PKS gene clusters to guide rational design of complexes that can produce novel...
