Natural Products in OBC

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry, our sister journal, publishes many articles that cover natural product chemistry. We will try to keep you updated, although the safest bet is for you to sign up to OBC’s e-alert (free service) and receive the table of content directly in your inbox every time an issue is published.

The latest NP articles have been collated here.

NPR Issue 10 published online

The latest NPR issue includes Robert Hill’s Hot of the press on current development in bioorganic chemistry and novel natural products and six very exciting reviews.

From the defensive strategies of Cladobranchia, polyphosphate lipids, glucosidase inhibitors, plant medicinal alkaloids to 3D structures of membrane bound peptides and macroporous resins and their application in purification of natural products.

All of this condensed in a very exciting Issue 10.

Browse through it and let us now what you think.

Enjoy it!
