Methods of producing polyketide synthase mutants and compositions and uses thereof

摘要

The present invention comprises crystalline polyketide synthases, isolated non-native polyketide synthases having the structural coordinates of said crystalline polyketide synthases, and nucleic acids encoding such non-native polyketide synthases. Also disclosed are methods of producing mutant polyketide synthases, and methods of altering the activity and/or substrate specificity of putative polyketide synthases.
