Abstract
Not only have antibacterial natural products been an important source of life-saving medicines in the 20th century, but they also have played a pivotal role in the growth of biological chemistry as a discipline. In particular, polyketide and peptide natural products have been extremely rich sources of antibacterial agents that modulate essential microbiological functions, such as nucleic acid and protein biosynthesis, or the integrity of the cell envelope. Using four examples from these two antibiotic superfamilies, this thematic minireview series illustrates how natural products are continuing to present fundamental and translational challenges at the chemistry-biology interface.
