Abstract

Natural products chemists have developed extensive methodology to construct complex organic compounds. A great deal of effort has been directed at stereoselective bond formation to produce optically pure materials. Enzymes are involved in virtually every reaction occurring in the biosynthesis of natural products; however, they have been used only recently for large scale synthesis of organic compounds. Enzymes offer many ...
