Complex enzymes in microbial natural product biosynthesis. Part A, Overview articles and peptides /
Microbial natural products have been an important traditional source of valuable antibiotics and other drugs but interest in them waned in the 1990s when big pharma decided that their discovery was no longer cost-effective and concentrated instead on synthetic chemistry as a source of novel compound...
