Résumé

A key goal of modular polyketide synthase (PKS) engineering is to alter polyketide stereochemistry. Here we report that exchanging whole PKS modules is a more productive approach than swapping individual ketoreductase (KR) domains for introducing rare 'A2' and 'B2' stereochemistry into model polyketides, and identify four modular 'biobricks' for such synthetic biology efforts.
