Produktbeschreibung
Chemical biology is an emerging field at the interface between chemistry and biology that utilises the tools and techniques of chemical synthesis to study and influence biological systems. Recent developments in this area have great potential in addressing drug discovery productivity challenges. For example, chemical biology studies have already led to the identification of novel targets with exciting therapeutic potential and it is clear that the field will prove a key enabler of improved target discovery in the future. Moreover, the precise synthetic manipulation of biological molecules applicable to many chemical biology approaches is now fuelling a new wave of chemically-modified biologics, 'chemologics', with unique properties. In these, and many other ways, chemical biology is beginning to emerge as a key discipline within 21st century drug discovery and the purpose of this book is to highlight a number of the most important developments. The chapters illustrate the powerful role that chemical genetic and proteomic approaches can play in interrogating biological mechanisms and developing a deeper understanding of how small molecules interact in more complex biological systems. The modulation of stem cell behaviour through small molecules is also discussed and the emerging field of epigenetics. An overview of chemologic approaches includes highlights from the areas of synthetic vaccines and oligonucleotide therapeutics, and additional chapters focus on antibody drug conjugates and DNA-encoded libraries. New Frontiers in Chemical Biology: Enabling Drug Discovery provides a valuable resource for scientists both in industry and academia who are looking to raise their awareness of chemical biology and how it may enable future drug discovery.
