Abstract

Natural products (NPs) are important drug pools for human disease prevention and treatment. The great advances in synthetic biology have greatly revolutionized the strategies of NPs development and production. This review entitled with design and construction of artificial biological systems for complex NPs biosynthesis, mainly introduced the progresses in artificial design of synthetic biological parts, naturally mining novel synthetic parts of NPs, the assembly & adaption of the artificial biological modules & systems.
