Overview

An assessment of the known properties of natural products and their model compounds to determine their usefulness in biological and medical experimentation, as well as in synkinetics - the reversible synthesis of noncovalent compounds. It explores new techniques such as cryoelectron and scanning force microscopy and solid-state NMR spectroscopy of membrane systems. There are 500 figures and reaction schemes.

"...useful to chemists and biochemists interested in the structure and function of natural products."

Chromatographia

For advanced students of chemistry and biochemistry who are interested in the fundamental structural properties and reactivity patterns of common natural products, Fuhrhop (Free U. of Berlin) discusses the most important type of reaction in living systems, the reversible formation of noncovalent molecular complexes and membranes. Compared to other texts on the same themes, he places more emphasis on water, membranes, and solid surfaces as reaction media. He covers lipids and membranes; steroids demonstrating rigidity and flexibility in carbocycles; carbohydrates engaging in orgies of biomass and stereochemistry; carotenes displaying rigidity and color; porphyrins using light and oxygen; vitamins as versatile assistants; the polar, flexible, and fragile matrix of DNA; and proteins recognizing all molecules and modules for functional reaction chains. Berliner Endisch contributed the many illustrations. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
