In contrast to previous texts focusing on either computational, structural or synthetic methods, this one-of-a-kind guide integrates all three skill sets for a complete picture of contemporary structure-based design. As a result, this practical book demonstrates how to develop a…
Bioactive natural products: chemistry and biology
Bioactive natural products: chemistry and biology
Natural compounds, which have evolved their function over millions of years, are often more efficient than man-made compounds if a specific biological activity is needed, e.g. as an enzyme inhibitor or as a toxin to kill a cancer cell. This book comprising of sixteen technical c…
