Abstract

This entry represents the very C terminus of a group of polyketide synthases. Polyketide synthases (PKSs) polymerize simple fatty acids into a large variety of different products, called polyketides, by successive decarboxylating Claisen condensations [ 1 ]. Proteins containing this domain can be found in proteins ranging from bacteria to human.
