Abstract
Chemical Biology Approaches in the Study of Microbial Chemistry
Author(s): Laurent P. MoreauChemical biology integrates principles of chemistry and biology to investigate complex biological systems at the molecular level. In microbial chemistry, chemical biology provides powerful tools for probing metabolic pathways, enzyme function, and molecular interactions within microorganisms. By applying chemically designed probes and analytical strategies, researchers can elucidate the chemical mechanisms underlying microbial processes. This article examines the role of chemical biology in advancing microbial chemistry, highlighting methodological approaches and pharmaceutical relevance.
