Bioorganic chemistry is a scientific discipline that combines organic chemistry and biochemistry. It is that branch of life science that deals with the study of biological processes using chemical methods. [1] Protein and enzyme function are examples of these processes. [2]
Her book, Chemistry of nucleic acids and their Components, written in collaboration with A.A. Bogdanov in 1978, is still the only textbook that outlines the chemical properties of DNA and RNA, methods of synthesis of oligonucleotides, and the chemical foundations of genetic engineering. An expanded edition, translated into English, was ...
Thomas C. Bruice (August 25, 1925 – February 15, 2019) [1] was a professor of chemistry and biochemistry at University of California, Santa Barbara. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1974.
Ulf Ellervik, 2010. Ulf Ellervik (born 7 December 1969) is a Swedish professor of bioorganic chemistry at Lund University.Ellervik's main research area is carbohydrates, such as eye drops against the viral disease epidemic keratoconjunctivitis and the carbohydrate xylose as the cure for cancer.
In more recent times, the study of chemistry was marked by milestones such as the development of Mendeleev's periodic table, Dalton's atomic model, and the conservation of mass theory. This last mention has the most importance of the three due to the fact that this law intertwines chemistry with thermodynamics in an intercalated manner.
Eugene Earle van Tamelen (July 20, 1925 – December 12, 2009) was an organic chemist who is especially recognized for his contributions to bioorganic chemistry. [1]van Tamelen published five papers while an undergraduate at Hope College. [2]
Bioorganometallic chemistry is the study of biologically active molecules that contain carbon directly bonded to metals or metalloids. The importance of main-group and transition-metal centers has long been recognized as important to the function of enzymes and other biomolecules.
Barton's Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1969 was awarded for his work on understanding conformations of organic molecules, work which was key to realizing the utility of the Barton Reaction. [ 2 ] The Barton reaction involves a homolytic RO–NO cleavage, followed by δ- hydrogen abstraction , free radical recombination, and tautomerization to ...
