Manipulation of prenylation reactions by structure-based engineering of bacterial indolactam prenyltransferases
Regioselective prenylation of small aromatic natural molecules is crucial for their biological activity. Here, the authors present the biochemical and structural characterisation of two prenyltransferases and a structure-based engineering strategy to modulate their substrate specificity.
