During the past 20 years, the field of chemical biology and bioorganic chemistry has developed into a well-established area of study. However, depending on the particular university or course, the definitions of the subjects taught may vary as widely as do the contents of textbooks that are recommended for these courses. Introduction to Bioorganic Chemistry and Chemical Biology fills a gap in the available literature by presenting the necessary basics of biochemistry from the viewpoint of organic chemistry, as well as explaining how to use the principles described in the book for the design and application of molecular tools. Through its selection of topics, it offers a reasonable, self-contained syllabus for a course in this area.
