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 tables of content directly in your inbox every time an issue is published.

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

There is still time to join ICPOC21!

Good news!

There’s still a chance to submit your oral abstract to ICPOC21: 21st IUPAC International Conference on Physical Organic Chemistry organised by the Organic Division of the RSC on behalf of IUPAC, to be held 9 – 13 September 2012 at Durham University.

The Scientific Committee is currently reviewing all submissions, and has agreed to accept contributions up to Friday 13 April to allow for the Easter holiday break.

Why join ICPOC21?

 
Professor Dean Tantillo, University of California, Davis (USA) is the winner of the 2011 NPR Lecture Award. and will be delivering his lecture at ICPOC 21.

The NPR Lecture Award is awarded to a researcher who has made a significant contribution to the field of natural products and who has been involved with the journal. Professor Tantillo was selected for his work in the field of enzymology.

In addition to the outstanding plenary sessions, there will be three parallel sessions over the five days comprising invited lectures and contributed talks, as well as poster sessions.

A broad range of scientists from across the whole community who share a quantitative perspective on chemistry will be there, providing an opportunity to discuss and celebrate the current status, development, and the future of physical organic chemistry.

Make sure you are one of them! Don’t miss the oral abstract submission deadline – 13 April.
