Adopting a novel approach to the topic that links the contents of both biosynthesis and chemical synthesis through mechanistic examination, this book provides a modern perspective on polyketides and non-ribosomal peptides. Following a general introduction to the field of natural products, the internationally recognized expert authors combine biosynthesis and enzymology with total synthesis strategies towards both compound classes. They also describe the mode of action for the most important polyketide and non-ribosomal peptide representatives. With its unique scope, this is an essential...
