The polyketide synthases (PKSs) are condensing enzymes which form a myriad of polyketide compounds. Several PKSs have been identified and studied in plants. This mini-review summarizes what is known about plant PKSs and some of their aspects such as specificity, reaction mechanisms, structure, as well as their possible evolution are highlighted.
聚酮合酶(PKSs)是能够合成大量聚酮化合物的缩合酶。人们已经在植物中鉴定并研究了多种聚酮合酶。本综述总结了关于植物聚酮合酶的已知信息,并着重介绍了它们的一些方面,如特异性、反应机制、结构以及可能的进化情况。
