Phosphoribosylamine (PRA) is the first intermediate in the common purine/thiamine biosynthetic pathway and is primarily synthesized by the product of the purF gene, glutamine phosphoribosylpyrophosphate (PRPP) amidotransferase (E.C. 2.4.2.14). Past genetic and biochemical studies have shown that multiple mechanisms for

Carbohydrate moieties are important components of natural products, which are often imperative for the solubility and biological activity of the compounds. The aromatic polyketide alnumycin A contains an extraordinary sugar-like 4'-hydroxy-5'-hydroxymethyl-2',7'-dioxane moiety attached via a carbon-carbon bond to the aglycone.
