Abstract

The cover picture shows the enzymatic synthesis of a diastereomer of abyssomicin derivative using the Diels–Alderase, AbyU, which catalyzes stereoselective intramolecular Diels–Alderase‐cycloaddition to form the spirotetronate moiety with a 15S configuration during abyssomicin C biosynthesis. AbyU is shown to convert the native substrate of another Diels‐Alderase, AbmU; to a new abyssomicin derivative with a 15R configuration, which is the enantiomeric counterpart to the native AbmU‐catalysed product. More details are discussed in the article by Ju et al. on page 1871—1877.image
