title: Trapping transient protein-protein interactions in polyketide biosynthesis.
abstract: Transient biomolecular interactions are essential for biological processes, but strategies for studying them have remained elusive. A paper in this issue shows how natural enzymatic activities can be exploited to examine protein-protein interactions in fatty acid synthase.
