Title: Biochemical and Structural Characterization of the Tautomycetin Thioesterase: Analysis of a Stereoselective Polyketide Hydrolase

Journal Article · · Angew. Chem. Int. Ed.

A narrow tunnel: Biochemical and structural analysis of the tautomycetin thioesterase (TE) has provided the first high-resolution structure of a linear-chain-terminating TE in polyketide biosynthesis, showing the enzyme to be stereoselective with a constrained substrate chamber relative to macrolactone-forming thioesterases.
