Popis: Semi-rational redesign of the substrate binding pocket and access tunnels of prodigiosin ligase PigC enhanced the catalytic efficiency in the synthesis of pyrrolic anti-cancer agents more than 45 times. A molecular understanding was gained on residues V333 and T334 relevant to substrate binding and translocation of small pyrroles through PigC access tunnels.
