摘要
In the past few years, significant progress has been made in our understanding of the biosynthesis of deoxyhexoses. Mechanistic studies have revealed how enzymes can cleave C-O bonds of a hexose substrate to make unusual sugars. The increasing amount of knowledge about the biosynthesis of deoxysugars may allow the assembly of a repertoire of novel sugar structures through recruitment and collaborative action of genes from a variety of biosynthetic pathways to create diverse secondary metabolites in our search for novel antibiotic/antitumour agents.
