Description

Take your first steps in combinatorial synthesis or synthesize bioactive molecules such as antibiotics. Search for mutations in DNA using chemical probes or perform a proteome analysis in yeast. The present selection of 12 inspiring experiments is tailored for maximum learning effect at minimal expense of time and equipment. Almost all currently used laboratory techniques in synthesis and analysis of bioactive compounds are represented at least once. Abundant practical hints are complemented by a thorough treatment of the underlying theory and mechanisms.
