In the biosynthesis of valanimycin, valine is mostly incorporated into the isobutyl moiety of the antibiotic. The alpha-substituted acrylic moiety of valanimycin is derived from alanine. However, a part of alanine is metabolized into valine, thus incorporated also into the isobutyl moiety. Anaerobic conditions and some reducing agents strongly inhibit the biosynthesis.
在缬氨霉素的生物合成过程中,缬氨酸大多被整合到抗生素的异丁基部分。缬氨霉素的α-取代丙烯酸部分源自丙氨酸。然而,一部分丙氨酸会代谢为缬氨酸,因此也会被整合到异丁基部分。厌氧条件和一些还原剂会强烈抑制生物合成。
