Wiley Encyclopedia of Chemical Biology (Online Edition 2008)

The Wiley Encyclopedia of Chemical Biology is an authoritative new work whose goal is to illuminate the crucial role of chemistry and chemical techniques in the life sciences. The encyclopedia will adopt an inclusive editorial approach, encompassing fundamental and blue-sky science as well as those areas of research that have more immediate medical or commercial applications. The scope and structure of the work will reflect the multidimensional character of chemical biology, focusing in particular on the fundamental science of biological structures and systems, the use of chemical and biological techniques to elucidate that science, and the applications of this knowledge in areas as diverse as drug discovery, sensor technology, and catalysis.Major topics areas covered in the encyclopedia:Chemical Views of BiologyBiomolecules within the CellChemistry of Biological Processes and SystemsChemical Biology of Cellular CompartmentsSynthetic Molecules as Tools for Chemical BiologyTechnologies and Techniques in Chemical BiologyApplications of Chemical Biology
