Biosynthesis of heterocycles : from the isolation to gene cluster /

This book describes biosynthetic methods to synthesize heterocycliccompounds, offering a guide for the development of new drugs basedon natural products. The authors explain the role of naturalproducts in chemistry and their formation along with importantanalytical methods and techniques for working...
