Nature's protection racket

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

(2S)-4-amino-2-hydroxybutyrate (AHBA) is a side chain that is important for the antibiotic activities of amino-glycosides. The elucidation of the biosynthetic pathway to AHBA, by Spencer et al. in this issue of Chemistry & Biology [1], reveals several surprises and will facilitate biosynthetic engineering of new improved aminoglycoside antibiotics. ©2005 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved.
