title: Relaxed specificity in aromatic prenyltransferases.
abstract: Prenylation represent a critical step in the biosynthesis of many natural products, A new study reveals how aromatic prenyltransferase enzymes tolerate diverse aromatic polyketides while still controlling the length of prenyl side chains.
