what are you researching
carbapenem biosynthesis
A lot of people argue that (5R)-Carbapen-2-em-3-carboxylic acid is the simplest among the naturally occurring carbapenem beta-lactam antibiotics, but I am of the opinion that since L-proline is desaturated to pyrroline-5-carboxylic acid prior to uptake into the biosynthetic pathway, that may clearly be the case.
this makes no sense....
we already know how that is made, Car B, Car A, Car C
the complex carbapenems, like thienamycin, are whats of interest atm
