The lab studies, at the molecular level, how natural organic compounds produced by living organisms function.
AboutAbout the lab
Exploring how compounds made by organisms work
The Bioorganic Chemistry Lab studies natural organic compounds produced by living organisms.
Organisms skillfully use natural organic compounds as substances for defensive reactions and signal transmission.
The lab aims to clarify at the molecular level how these compounds function inside organisms, and to apply the findings to fields such as agriculture.
In addition to isolation, structural analysis, and organic synthesis of compounds, the lab also uses biological methods such as producing transgenic plants.
Key terms
- Natural organic compounds
- Carbon-based compounds that organisms such as plants and microorganisms produce in their bodies
- Organic synthesis
- Making a target organic compound artificially by combining chemical reactions
- Isolation
- The process of taking only the target compound out of a mixture of various substances and purifying it
