Natural Products Analysis: Instrumentation, Methods, and Applications

This book highlights analytical chemistry instrumentation and practices applied to the analysis of natural products and their complex mixtures, describing techniques for isolating and characterizing natural products.

* Applies analytical techniques to natural products research - an area of critical importance to drug discovery
* Offers a one-stop shop for most analytical methods: x-ray diffraction, NMR analysis, mass spectrometry, and chemical genetics
* Includes coverage of natural products basics and highlights antibacterial research, particularly important as efforts to combat drug resistance gain prominence
* Covers instrumental techniques with enough detail for both current practitioners and beginning researchers
