ORGANIC-SYNTHESIS AND BIOLOGICAL SIGNAL-TRANSDUCTION

Today, many biological phenomena are being both investigated and under stood in molecular detail, and organic chemistry is increasingly being directed towards biological phenomena. Thus, the field of ''bioorgani c chemistry'', which encompasses both biological and chemical research , has developed at the border between these two disciplines. The inter play of organic chemistry and biology will be illustrated in this revi ew, using biological signal transduction as an example.
