Department of Biology Seminar Series

Microbes, the smallest living organisms on our planet, are talented chemists that produce a variety of bioactive compounds via their secondary metabolism. These ‘natural products’ have inspired human chemists to perfect their synthesis in the laboratory and understand the molecular origins of their biological activity. The small molecules hippolachnin A and alanosine are two such natural products, and their chemical and biological synthesis will be presented in this seminar.
