Bioactive Natural Products (2^nd Ed.) Detection, Isolation, and Structural Determination, Second Edition

Following the successful format of the original, this new edition presents applications of the most recent techniques for the detection, isolation, and structural determination of bioactive natural products. It features new case studies and illustrations that demonstrate applications of techniques covered in the book. Complementing as much as replacing the first edition, most of the contributors are new. The text includes updates on chemical extraction, and NMR-based structure determination, and new contributions on liquid chromatography linked with mass and NMR spectroscopy, dereplication approaches, assessment of source material for natural products and novel bioassay development.
