The functional dissection of type I polyketide synthases has established that ketoreductases most commonly set the orientations of the hydroxyl and alkyl substituents of complex polyketides. Here we review the biochemical, structural biology, and engineering studies that have helped elucidate how stereocontrol is enforced by these enzymes.
