Abstract
Complex carbapenem β-lactam antibiotics contain diverse C6 alkyl substituents constructed by cobalamin-dependent radical SAM enzymes. TokK installs the C6 isopropyl chain found in asparenomycin. Time-course analyses of TokK and its ortholog ThnK, which forms the C6 ethyl chain of thienamycin, indicate that catalysis occurs through a sequence of discrete, non-processive methyl transfers.Entities:
