95A analog 2a,b with the essential functionalities sufficient for inhibition was derived. For further<br />
simplification the biaryl moiety was replaced with a nitro (3a) as well as an aniline (3b) biaryl<br />
ether macrocycle. Simultaneously we have optimised the amino acid sequence with the<br />
introduction <strong>of</strong> arginine residues targeting trypsin-like activity. X-ray crystallography as well as<br />
mass spectrometry gave evidence for the hydrolysis <strong>of</strong> this C-terminal amide.<br />

Polyketide synthases (PKSs) are a family <strong>of</strong> multienzyme complexes that biosynthesize natural<br />
products through the sequential condensation <strong>of</strong> simple two- or three-carbon building blocks.<br />
Polyketides have a wide range <strong>of</strong> biological and pharmacological activities and there has been<br />
much interest towards engineering PKSs systems for combinatorial biosynthesis in order to<br />
produce new drugs and novel molecules. However, an understanding <strong>of</strong> substrate<br />
stereospecificity and selectivity is unknown for nearly all <strong>of</strong> the PKS catalytic domains. The<br />
specific aim <strong>of</strong> this research is to design and synthesize polyketide-based affinity labels in order<br />
to understand this relationship. Here we present the design and synthesis <strong>of</strong> vinyl ketone affinity<br />
labels and their effective labeling <strong>of</strong> an acyl carrier protein which, with the aid <strong>of</strong> their crystal<br />
structures, will allow us to determine the stereochemical outcome <strong>of</strong> PKS activity.<br />
