Comprehensive Natural Products II Vols. 1-10, Set : Chemistry and Biology (2010, Hardcover) read book TXT, DOC, PDF
9780080453811 English 0080453813 The term "natural product" is commonly used in reference to chemical substances produced by a living organism or found in nature that have distinctive biological and pharmacological effects. It encompasses a wide variety of chemical compound classes, including carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and amino acids, and nucleic acids.Natural products operates at the interface of chemistry and biology and deals with the isolation, identification, structure elucidation, and study of the chemical characteristics of natural products. To cover this broad perspective many disciplines are involved including chemists, biochemists, biologists, botanists, and pharmacologists.This work presents a definitive interpretation of the current status and future trends in the natural product area and is a useful starting point for those new to the area as well as a reference for those working in the field.Two volumes review the large range of biodiversity in nature. These are followed with a volume examining how bioactivity can be improved.Chemical ecology examines how natural products are using in communication and defence in nature. Amino acids, peptides, enzymes co-factors are reviewed. Followed by a volume reviewing the techniques used in the natural products area including measurement, . REWORD * Examines the types of molecules made by nature and how these are important to life* Reviews the accumulated efforts of chemical and biological research to understand living organisms*Examines the search for and improvement of biological activities to help improve health and medicine* Designed to stimulate new ideas among the established natural products research community and to inform and inspire newcomers to the field, This work presents a definitive interpretation of the current status of and future trends in natural products-a dynamic field at the intersection of chemistry and biology concerned with isolation, identification, structure elucidation, and chemical characteristics of naturally occurring compounds such as pheromones, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and enzymes. With more than 1,800 color figures, "Comprehensive Natural Products II" features 100% new material and complements rather than replaces the original work ((c)1999). Reviews the accumulated efforts of chemical and biological research to understand living organisms and their distinctive effects on health and medicineStimulates new ideas among the established natural products research community-which includes chemists, biochemists, biologists, botanists, and pharmacologistsInforms and inspires students and newcomers to the field with accessible content in a range of delivery formatsIncludes 100% new content, with more than 6,000 figures (1/3 of these in color) and 40,000 references to the primary literature, for a thorough examination of the field Highlights new research and innovations concerning living organisms and their distinctive role in our understanding and improvement of human health, genomics, ecology/environment, and more Adds to the rich body of work that is the first edition, which will be available for the first time in a convenient online format giving researchers complete access to authoritative Natural Products content
