Description: Skeletal structures of the biosynthesis of L-pipecolic acid from L-lysine using a NAD+/NADH cofactor. The whole process is mediated by the RapL gene in the biosynthesis of rapamycin.See Gatto, G. J., Jr.; Boyne, M. T., II; Kelleher,N. L.; Walsh, C. T. (2006). "Biosynthesis of Pipecolic Acid by RapL, a Lysine Cyclodeaminase Encoded in the Rapamycin Gene Cluster". J. Am. Chem. Soc. 128 (11): 3838–3847. DOI:10.1021/ja0587603. PMID 16536560.
