Convergent strategies in biosynthesis.

Tohru Dairi1, Tomohisa Kuzuyama, Makoto Nishiyama, Isao Fujii.   

Abstract

This review article focuses on how nature sometimes solves the same problem in the biosynthesis of small molecules but using very different approaches. Four examples, involving isopentenyl diphosphate, menaquinone, lysine, and aromatic polyketides, are highlighted that represent different strategies in convergent metabolism.
