Abstract

Heinz-Günter Floss, a world-renowned biosynthetic chemist, passed away on December 19, 2022. He was one of the most influential scientists in expanding the range of methods for deciphering the biosynthetic pathways of complex natural products. He was a mentor to many collaborators who later followed in his footsteps, creating a global "scientific school of natural products".
