Molecular Basis for Asynchronous Chain Elongation During Rifamycin Antibiotic Biosynthesis

Chengli Liu, Ryan C. West, Muyuan Chen…·Dillon P. Cogan

This paper investigates the biosynthetic mechanism of the rifamycin synthetase (RIFS) using crosslinking, kinetic, and structural analyses, revealing how C-terminal dimeric interfaces influence chain elongation asymmetry.
