摘要：

Lipoic acid is almost universally required for aerobic metabolism. However, the mechanism for its synthesis and incorporation into proteins has remained elusive. A groundbreaking study published in the December issue of Chemistry & Biology [20] uncovers critical features of the lipoic acid biosynthetic pathway.
