MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
In a real tour de force of pharmacological literature, this edited volume's chapters highlight the biodiversity-driven approaches which are now of eminent importance in natural products research. It addresses the question why natural products display such complex chemical information, what makes them unique, as they often are, and what their characteristics are. Practical questions such as supply of natural substances and production optimization strategies are also covered.
