The pharmaceutical sector heavily relies on organic chemistry. Research and the discovery and development of new medications are aided by knowledge of organic substances. Similarly, knowing biological reactions, mechanisms, and many aspects of the life sciences in general depends on understanding organic chemistry.
An excellent introduction to organic chemistry in the context of the life sciences and pharmacy-related fields, Basic Chemistry for Life Science Students and Professionals uses medication molecules to show the molecular foundation of their efficacy and interaction with biological targets. The reader will gain a better knowledge of the significance of organic chemistry to the life sciences from natural product sources, their synthesis, and approaches to drug discovery through this book’s development of the fundamental ideas of organic chemistry.
Ideal for natural science undergraduate students, this book also serves as a superb introduction to organic chemistry in the context of pharmaceuticals for postgraduate students in a variety of fields, including forensic science and allied-health programs, as well as professionals working in related fields.
