Introduction to Bioorganic Chemistry and Chemical Biology

This textbook uniquely blends the modern tools of organic chemistry with concepts of biology, physiology, and medicine. With a focus on human cell biology and using a problems-driven approach, the text explains the combinatorial architecture of biooligomers (genes, DNA, RNA, proteins, glycans, lipids, and terpenes) as the molecular engine for life. Accentuated by descriptions of mechanistic arrow pushing and rich illustrations, organic chemistry is used to illuminate the central dogma of molecular biology. The text contains more than 300 problems to test assimilation or the material.

Introduction to Bioorganic Chemistry and Chemical Biology is the first textbook to blend modern tools of organic chemistry with concepts of biology, physiology, and medicine. With a focus on human cell biology and a problems-driven approach, the text explains the combinatorial architecture of biooligomers (genes, DNA, RNA, proteins, glycans, lipids, and terpenes) as the molecular engine for life. Accentuated by rich illustrations and
mechanistic arrow pushing, organic chemistry is used to illuminate the central dogma of molecular biology.

Introduction to Bioorganic Chemistry and Chemical Biology is appropriate for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry and molecular biology, as well as those going into medicine and pharmaceutical science.
