"...gives the average reader, on reading the contents, a general perspective of the scope of present-day bioorganic chemistry..."
Chemistry and Industry, August 2004


"The book consists of 35 chapters on various aspects of our chemical knowledge of various biological assemblies or of their model counterparts. The chapters have been written by various experts in the field, and I am naturally very stimulated by the state-of-the-art coverage that these colleagues have so nicely given to various aspects in a very professional manner. I have no doubt that the book will be helpful and interesting to both, beginners in the bioorganic research as well as to those who are practitioners in the field as a readily availabele reference book. ... This is a good, affordable reference book with plenty of citations to the review articles and original publications. I strongly recommend this as a reference or handbook to my both young and expert colleagues."
