Abstract

Domains of epothilone polyketide synthase, and polynucleotides encoding therefor. Additionally, chimeric polyketide synthases that include domains, or subsets of domains, patterned on epothilone polyketide synthase. Methods to prepare epothilone in pharmaceutically useful quantitites are described, as are methods to prepare polyketide combinatorial libraries.
