What are type III polyketide synthases?

Type III polyketide synthases are a family of proteins that produce a large class of secondary metabolites, including chalcone and stilbene which possess antibiotic, antifungal, antitumor and immunosuppressive activities.

Why need of Type III PKS database?

As the polyketide data is increasing day by day, this database will help the researchers to find all the available type III polyketide synthase in a single platform.
