Bioorganic Chemistry Frontiers

Progress in biological and biochemical research is based mainly on a better understanding of life processes on a molecular level. Modern chemical techniques for structural elucidation even of sophisticated biomolecules and theoretical and mechanistic considerations help us to understand structure-function relations, metabolic processes, molecular and cellular recognition, and the reproduction of life. This series, Bioorganic Chemistry Frontiers, will bring together critical reviews on the progress in this field.
