Biomolecules And Their Synthetic Analogs
Any molecule normally made by a living organisme can be classified as a biomolecule. Mainly macro
molecules and micro
molecules are included.
Proteins, nucleic acids , lipids and polysaccharides, and small
molecules including natural products, primary and secondary metabolites, are best examples for large molecules. Also known as biogenic substances are biomolecules. In their structure, resemblance and function, synthetic parallels are defined as artificial compounds that differ from natural compounds. Synthetic applies to all non-natural material. This means that a product such as cloth, instead of the natural fibres, is made from a chemical source.In medicine, drug administering or antiviring agents etc,
biomolecules and their synthetic analogs play an important role. Most analogs are developed because natural products "true synthetic" are difficult to produce or are not sufficiently potent. The morphine is poorly absored and only moderately powerful, but it gains power and can be more fully absorbed in the case of certain morphine esters if it is converted to hydromorphone or heroin (analogs).
