内容简介：
Interest in the chemistry of biological systems, as well as in molecular chemical engineering, has grown considerably since the mid-1980s. Many fields in modern chemistry are contributing to a better understanding of elementary mechanisms of various biological processes and this has resulted in the development of new classes of organic and organometallic compounds with specific and high biological activity. Such a multidisciplinary approach creates opportunities for an exchange of ideas and the need to create a common language. This volume contains a set of papers, written by leading scientists which collectively provide an overview of current research activities relating to the chemistry of biological systems. These papers emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of this research. This text should be of interest to researchers in academia and industry whose work involves the chemistry and properties of biomolecular systems.
