Synonyms:
  • polyketide anabolism
  • polyketide biosynthesis
  • polyketide formation
  • polyketide synthesis
Definition: The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of polyketides, any of a diverse group of natural products synthesized via linear poly-beta-ketones, which are themselves formed by repetitive head-to-tail addition of acetyl (or substituted acetyl) units indirectly derived from acetate (or a substituted acetate) by a mechanism similar to that for fatty acid biosynthesis but without the intermediate reductive steps. 0198506732
