Abstract: My group investigates how molecules are constructed in nature. We use a combination of structural, chemical, and biochemical approaches to elucidate biosynthetic pathways and to unravel the mechanisms of unique enzymes. In this talk, I will discuss the biosynthesis of bacterial natural products, with a specific focus on construction of heterocycle-containing natural products.
