Natural Products Blog

Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry, our sister journal, publishes many articles that cover natural product chemistry.

We try to keep you updated here, although your best bet is for you to sign up to OBC’s e-alert (free service), and receive the tables of content directly in your inbox every time an issue is published.

The latest natural products’ related articles have been collated here:
