title: The stereochemistry of ketoreduction.
abstract: In this issue of Chemistry & Biology, Leadlay and coworkers report overproduction of a number of ketoreductase domains from modular polyketide synthases. These discrete enzymes allow the stereochemistry of polyketide ketoreduction to be studied in isolation.
