This book describes biosynthetic methods to synthesize heterocyclic
compounds, offering a guide for the development of new drugs based
on natural products. The authors explain the role of natural
products in chemistry and their formation along with important
analytical methods and techniques for working with
heterocycles.
* Covers methods and techniques: isotopic labelling,
enzymes and mutants, and pathway identification
* Provides a thorough resource of information
specifically on heterocyclic natural products and their practical
biosynthetic relevance
* Explains the role of natural products in chemistry and
their formation
* Discusses gene cluster identification and the use of
biogenetic engineering in pharmaceutical application
