Functional Characterization of Azinomycin Biosynthetic Enzymes

Azinomycins A and B are antitumor compounds isolated from soil bacteria, Streptomyces sahachiroi. The azinomycin structure contains an unusual aziridine [1,2a] pyrrolidine ring and an epoxyvaline moiety which are used in forming DNA cross-links.
