Introduction to Bioorganic Chemistry and Chemical Biology David Van Vranken and Gregory A. Weiss is an English-language textbook that focuses on the integration of chemistry and biology. The book is intended for students of chemistry and molecular biology and provides in-depth insight into bioorganic chemistry and chemical biology.
This textbook combines modern organic chemistry tools with biological and medical concepts, with an emphasis on human cell biology. The text covers the combinatorial architecture of biooligomers such as DNA, RNA, and proteins, and explains the molecular basis of life through clear illustrations and mechanisms. It focuses on a problem-driven approach for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, as well as students in medicine and pharmaceutical sciences.
The book is aligned in content with disciplines such as biochemistry and life sciences. In addition to the extensive theory, solutions are available through supplementary teaching materials, exclusively for instructors who have adopted the book.
