Short description The Wiley Encyclopedia of Chemical Biology provides an authoritative new work that illuminates the crucial role of chemistry and chemical techniques in the life sciences. This encyclopedia adopts an inclusive editorial approach, encompassing fundamental and blue-sky science as well as those areas of research that have more immediate medical or commercial applications. The scope and structure of this four-volume work reflects the multidimensional character of chemical biology, focusing in particular on the fundamental science of biological structures and systems, the use of chemical and biological techniques to elucidate that science, and the applications of this knowledge in areas as diverse as drug discovery, sensor technology, and catalysis.
