title: Structure, synthesis, and biosynthesis of fumonisin B1 and related compounds.
abstract: The absolute stereochemical description of fumonisin B1 (FB1) and presumably of its congeners is now secure. In this article I summarize studies leading to this conclusion and outline the biosynthetic and synthetic studies of FB1.
