Features: This book primarily focuses on the structure and function of biomolecules, integrating the interactions between chemical substances and biomolecules to organically combine chemical knowledge with biochemistry, cell biology, pharmacology, toxicology, and other disciplines. Based on an introduction to the development, definition, connotation, and main research content of chemical biology, it emphasizes the introduction of proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, glycans, interactions and molecular recognition, interactions between chemicals and proteins, interactions between chemicals and enzymes, interactions between chemicals and nucleic acids, interactions between inorganic substances and biomolecules, biooxidation, biometabolism, the transmission and expression of genetic information, cells and organelles, cell signaling transduction, the cell cycle and its regulation, and apoptosis and its regulation. This book incorporates the fundamental knowledge of chemical biology involved in disciplines such as biochemistry and medicinal chemistry. It is rich in content, illustrated with diagrams and images, making it convenient for teaching and self-study. It can serve as a foundational textbook for undergraduate chemical biology majors and students in various chemistry-related disciplines taking "Biochemistry" or "Chemical Biology" courses. It is also suitable as a reference book for teachers, graduate students, and researchers engaged in related disciplines. Based on an introduction to the development, definition, connotation, and main research content of chemical biology, this book emphasizes the introduction of proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, glycans, interactions and molecular recognition, interactions between chemicals and proteins, and interactions between inorganic substances and biomolecules.
