Here, we report a facile strategy for rapidly reporting such ACP-KS interactions based on the incorporation of an amino acid with photocrosslinking functionality. Crucially, this photocrosslinking strategy can be applied to any polyketide or fatty acid synthase regardless of substrate specificity, and can be adapted to a high-throughput format for directed evolution studies.}, number={11}, journal={Molecular BioSystems}, publisher={Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC)}, author={Ye, Zhixia and Bair, Morgan and Desai, Hemant and Williams, Gavin J.}, year={2011}, pages={3152} }
