What’s the difference between “biological chemistry” and “chemical biology”? One of us (JMG) received his Ph.D. at an institution where the biochemistry building was called the Laboratory of Chemical Biology, but that was a long time ago and things have changed. Biological chemistry (or biochemistry), that is the study of life processes at the molecular level, is now quite distinct from chemica...

these two disciplines, namely Biological Chemistry, Yuh-Nung Jan Chemical Ecology, Bio-organic Chemistry and most reDepartments of Physiology and Biochemistry cently Chemical Biology. Biochemistry departments are Howard Hughes Medical Institute prolific and can be found in medical schools, as basic University of California, San Francisco science departments, and even as divisions within ChemSan...

One of the goals of medicinal chemistry research and drug discovery is to provide a rationalbasis for the design of new medicinal agents. Organic compounds and their reactions have beenutilized by people since antiquity. Due to the increasing demand for bioactive molecules, organicchemists are increasingly required to synthesize new compounds of biological interest. AsBenzimidazoles are very us...

ABOUT a year ago Sparks and NoyeS2 prepared a census of the periodical literature of chemistry published in the United States. They selected for their study tile five American chemical journals: American Chemical Journal Journal of the A merican Chemical Society Journal of Biological Chemistry Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistryj Journal of Physical Chemistry This study showed that ...
