High Impact Bio-Organic Chemistry Journals

 Bioorganic chemistry applies the values and methods of organic chemistry to resolve problems of biological relevance, taking inspiration from biology to grow new chemical processes. Cornell bioorganic chemists accentuate chemical and molecular methods to solving important biological problems. Research areas comprise the application of synthetic and physical organic chemistry to the study of enzymes, metabolic pathways and nucleic acids. This contains the development of mechanism-based enzyme inhibitors; elucidation of enzyme mechanism and structure and studies of coenzyme reactivity.   Chemical investigations are lengthy to studies of receptor recognition, hormone and drug activity, and the device of chemical communicants such as pheromones. Ultimately, insights from biology are taken to grow catalysts that mimic enzymes and coenzymes. Ongoing projects, mainly with redox-enzymes, investigated varied alterations such as Baeyer-Villiger Oxidation, aryl-dioxygenations, and ketone- and enone-reductions. A essential competence of the group is the optimization of these transformations for chemical procedures.
