Groping in pockets . In order to evaluate the substrate specificity of the adenylation domain of the EA module of enniatin synthetase, a set of 30 α‐ D ‐hydroxy acid derivatives with various modifications in the side chain were synthesized and tested. Due to the low substrate specificity of enniatin synthetase a number of new unnatural enniatins could be synthesised (see scheme for example).
