Informationen zum Autor Professor Iwao Ojima is Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemistry! and Director of the Institute of Chemical Biology & Drug Discovery! at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. He has published over 340 papers and reviews! more than 140 patents and patent applications! and edited 5 books! including Biomedical Frontiers of Fluorine Chemistry! published in the ACS Symposium Series in 1996. Klappentext The extraordinary potential of fluorine-containing biologically relevant molecules in biology! medicinal chemistry! and medical applications has been recognized by researchers who are not in the traditional fluorine chemistry field! and thus a new wave of fluorine chemistry is expanding its biomedical frontiers. This book contains comprehensive reviews on cutting-edge developments and future prospects of fluorine in bioorganic and medicinal chemistry. It is essential for researchers who want to take advantage of the use of fluorine in biomedical research! from rational drug design! theory and synthesis to the use of fluorine labels as probes in metabolic study! protein engineering! and clinical diagnosis. Zusammenfassung The extraordinary potential of fluorine-containing biologically relevant molecules in biology, medicinal chemistry, and medical applications has been recognized by researchers who are not in the traditional fluorine chemistry field, and thus a new wave of fluorine chemistry is expanding its biomedical frontiers.
