Natural ProductsHeads: Norbert Arnold & Jürgen Schmidt
The group is engaged in the production, isolation, and structural elucidation of plant and fungal metabolites. The evolutionary selection undergone by these compounds provides a bias for bioactivity and thus can be used for the discovery of novel lead structures for drug candidates or other applications. The investigation of the native function of natural products in natural systems can aid the identification of new targets, the understanding of ecological interactions, or the discovery of new biocatalysts or enzymatic transformations. |
