Hemiacetal-less rapamycin derivatives designed and produced by genetic engineering of a type I polyketide synthase

Abstract Engineering polyketide synthases is one of the most promising ways of producing a variety of polyketide derivatives. Exploring the undiscovered chemical space of this medicinally important class of middle molecular weight natural products will aid in the development of improved drugs in the...
