Diversity‐oriented biosynthesis of a library of antimycin‐like compounds (380 altogether) was accomplished by using multiplex combinatorial biosynthesis. The core strategy depends on the use of combinatorial chemistry at different biosynthetic stages. This approach is applicable for the diversification of polyketides, nonribosomal peptides, and the hybrids that share a similar biosynthetic logic.

natural product biosynthetic gene clusters. These predictions are supported by the demonstration that a phylogenetically distant homolog of TcsD also regioselectively oxidizes α,β-unsaturated substrates. This work exemplifies a powerful approach to understand unique enzymatic reactions and will facilitate future enzyme discovery, inform enzyme engineering, and aid natural productcharacterization efforts
