Hardbound. This volume covers the exciting advances made in the chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology of amino acid, peptide and alkaloid biosynthesis. The fourteen chapters in this volume briefly introduce classical approaches to deciphering biosynthetic pathways, but largely focus on a synergistic approach, i.e. one applying both chemical and genetic methods to uncover the mysteries associated with the synthesis of some of the worlds most beautiful molecules. Two chapters review our current understanding of alkaloid biosynthesis, which provided much of the impetus for the growth of organic chemistry in the century. Two chapters are devoted to the biosynthesis of Heme prosthetic groups, which have attracted the attention of numerous chemists and biologists over the years. Five chapters focus on peptide and antibiotic biosynthesis, in keeping with the fantastic advances that have been made in understanding non-ribosomal peptide synthesis and the u

Hardbound. This volume is intended to cover the chemistry of one of the most widely studied and important natural products, DNA. Discussed in detail are physicochemical properties of the molecule itself as well as small-molecule natural products that are known to interact with it. Also included are methods to synthesize and manipulate DNA and modified analogues. Twenty chapters are devoted to this overall topic. The first five relate to the structure of DNA; the first focuses on thermodynamics and kinetics of double helix formation; the next two describe triple- and tetra- helical structures formed by DNA; and the last two focus on methods for probing DNA structure (specifically, NMR methods and chemical probing methods, respectively). Chapters 6-12 focus on the chemistry of natural DNA and modified analogues. The first of these addresses nonenzymatic methods for synthesizing DNA, and the next chapter, on methods for attachment of reporter groups t
