NONCOVALENT COMPLEXES IN NATURAL EXTRACTS

摘要

Chemical evolution includes capture, mutation and propagation of molecular information via covalent and noncovalent associations [1]. Considering the high complexity of natural substrates, for the presence of molecular species of different chemical nature, the formation of noncovalent complexes has to be expected. They could play a role in the activity of the extract, leading to structures of active compounds different to that of the synthetic analogous products.
