Modular polyketide synthases are multidomain megasynthases catalyzing polyketide chain elongation, modification and release. New work reveals a full ~360-kDa modular polyketide synthases


with just one active domain, ketosynthase, catalyzing an amidation that releases the completed product (a reaction type typically catalyzed by dedicated thioesterases). Access through your
