title: Chemoenzymatic acylation of aminoglycoside antibiotics.
abstract: The chemoenzymatic installation of the clinically valuable (S)-4-amino-2-hydroxybutyryl side chain onto a number of 2-deoxystreptamine-containing aminoglycosides is described using the purified Bacillus circulans biosynthetic enzymes BtrH and BtrG in combination with a synthetic acyl-SNAC surrogate substrate.
