General description

Oxazole is the parent molecule for a large class of heterocyclic aromatic compounds. It is a weak base that can be used as an electron-deficient diene in the Diels-Alder cycloaddition reaction. It undergoes nitration, sulfonation, halogenation, Friedel-Crafts alkylation, and acylation.

Nonribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) oxidase (Ox) domains oxidize protein-bound intermediates to install crucial structural motifs in bioactive natural products. The mechanism of this domain remains elusive. Here, by studying indigoidine synthetase, a single-module NRPS involved in the biosynthesis of indigoidine
