    Abstract Natural products have played significant roles as medicine and food throughout human history. Here, we first provide a brief historical overview of natural products, their classification, biosynthetic origins, and the microbiological and genetic methods used for their discovery. We also describe and discuss the technologies that revolutionized the field, which transitioned from classic genetics to genome-centric discovery approximately two decades ago. We then highlight the most recent advancements and approaches in the current postgenomic era, in which genome mining is a standard operation and high-throughput analytical methods allow parallel discovery of genes and molecules at an unprecedented pace. Finally, we discuss the new challenges faced by the field of natural products and the future of systematic heterologous expression and strain-independent discovery, which promises to deliver more molecules in vials than ever before.

    Abstract Terpenoids display chemical and structural diversities as well as important biological activities. Despite their extreme variability, the range of these structures is limited by the scope of natural products that canonically derive from interconvertible five-carbon (C5) isoprene units. New approaches have recently been developed to expand their structural diversity. This review systematically explores the combinatorial biosynthesis of noncanonical building blocks via the coexpression of the canonical mevalonate (MVA) pathway and C-methyltransferases (C-MTs), or by using the lepidopteran mevalonate (LMVA) pathway. Unnatural terpenoids can be created from farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) analogs by chemobiological synthesis and terpene cyclopropanation by artificial metalloenzymes (ArMs). Advanced technologies to accelerate terpene biosynthesis are discussed. This review provides a valuable reference for increasing the diversity of valuable terpenoids and their derivatives, as well as for expanding their potential applications.

    Abstract Polycyclopropanated (POP) compounds show promise as fuels as their energy density can be greater than jet and rocket fuels in current use, but realizing their full potential requires significant development. This protocol guides the production of polycyclopropanated fatty acids in Streptomyces; POP production in another host remains to be demonstrated. This method can serve as a baseline for further development of POP as well as other polyketide products. For complete details on the use and execution of this protocol, please refer to Cruz-Morales et al. (2022).

    Abstract Here, in this chapter, we describe a detailed protocol for the method named Cas9-mediated protein evolution reaction or short CasPER. CasPER is based on the generation of large 300-600-bp mutagenized linear DNA fragments by error-prone PCR which are used as a donor for repair of double-strand break mediated by Cas9 and subsequently integrated to the genome. This method can be efficiently used for directed evolution of desired essential or nonessential genes in the genome and most importantly can be multiplexed. Altogether, the described method allows for heterogeneous DNA integration with successful transformation efficiencies of 98-100% for both single and multiplex targeting.

    Abstract Terpenoid glycosides have significant curative effects on many kinds of diseases. Most of these compounds are derived from medicinal plants. Glycosylation is a key step in the biosynthesis of medicinal terpenoids. In plants, UDP-dependent glycosyltransferases comprise a large family of enzymes that catalyze the transfer of sugars from donor to acceptor to form various bioactive glycosides. In recent years, numerous terpenoid UDP-glycosyltransferases (UGTs) have been cloned and characterized in medicinal plants. We review the typical characteristics and evolution of terpenoid-related UGTs in plants and summarize the advances and research strategies of terpenoid UGTs in medicinal plants over the past 20 years. We provide a reference for the study of glycosylation of terpenoid skeletons and the biosynthetic pathways for medicinal terpenoids in plants.

    Abstract Foldy is a cloud-based application that allows non-computational biologists to easily utilize advanced AI-based structural biology tools, including AlphaFold and DiffDock. With many deployment options, it can be employed by individuals, labs, universities, and companies in the cloud without requiring hardware resources, but it can also be configured to utilize locally available computers. Foldy enables scientists to predict the structure of proteins and complexes up to 6000 amino acids with AlphaFold, visualize Pfam annotations, and dock ligands with AutoDock Vina and DiffDock. In our manuscript, we detail Foldy's interface design, deployment strategies, and optimization for various user scenarios. We demonstrate its application through case studies including rational enzyme design and analyzing proteins with domains of unknown function. Furthermore, we compare Foldy's interface and management capabilities with other open and closed source tools in the field, illustrating its practicality in managing complex data and computation tasks. Our manuscript underlines the benefits of Foldy as a day-to-day tool for life science researchers, and shows how Foldy can make modern tools more accessible and efficient.
