Can you elaborate on What’s a PKS? Have you read the science article and does it mention PKS? I don’t have full text access but from the article and the abstract it didn’t sound like it’s a new addition to an existing paradigm..
- _yb2s 2y agoA PKS is a "polyketide synthase" which is a type of enzyme that acts sequentially, like an assembly line to build large complex molecules. It is best visualized- there are some good videos on youtube with animations and figures showing how they work. Yes, I read the article- polyketide synthase (PKS) is mentioned right in the title. What makes this finding novel is just how massive this PKS, named PKZILLA is compared to previously discovered ones.
