Bioorganic chemistry is a chemistry discipline which integrates biochemistry and organic chemistry. Bioorganic chemistry involves the study of biological processes using chemical methods. Organic chemistry methods are used to synthesize biological molecules and to examine their structure and the kinetics of biochemical reactions. Bioorganic chemistry applies the principles and techniques of organic chemistry to solve problems of biological relevance or takes inspiration from biology to develop new chemical processes. Cornell bioorganic chemists emphasize chemical and molecular approaches to solving important biological problems. Research areas include the application of synthetic and physical organic chemistry to the study of enzymes, metabolic pathways, and nucleic acids. The book is intended to assist students and teachers who are interested in this subject.
