Abstract

Three recent papers (by Roessner et al. [[12][1]], Kajiwara et al. [[5][2]], and Santander et al. [[14][3]]) report the use of a combination of genetic engineering, enzymology, bio-organic chemistry, and high-resolution NMR spectroscopy to help fine-tune what is known of the anaerobic pathway to
