(BIO2) Biosynthesis and its Manipulation (2L)
This two part lecture series aims to give an overview of the biosynthesis of the major natural product classes – the terpenoids, polyketides, alkaloids and ribosomal/non-ribosomal peptides. The end of the second lecture will feature a discussion of the genetic manipulation of natural product producing organisms to generate new unnatural analogues, with industrially successful examples of this exciting new technology show-cased.
