Bioorganic and bioinorganic chemistry

Chimia (Aarau). 2010;64(12):846-54. doi: 10.2533/chimia.2010.846.

Abstract

The interdisciplinary projects in bioinorganic and bioorganic chemistry of the Department of Chemistry, University of Basel led to the preparation of new systems that mimic biologically important processes and to the discovery of compounds from natural sources which are very promising with respect to medical applications. The advances in these areas are reported here.
