Chemistry plays a very important role in the emerging field of synthetic biology. In particular, chemical synthetic biology is concerned with the synthesis of chemical structures, such as proteins, that do not exist in nature. With contributions from leading international experts, Chemical Synthetic Biology shows how chemistry underpins synthetic biology. The book is an essential guide to this fascinating new field, and will find a place on the bookshelves of researchers and students working in synthetic chemistry, synthetic and molecular biology, bioengineering, systems biology, computational genomics, and bioinformatics.Content: Chapter 1 Searching for Nucleic Acid Alternatives (pages 5–45): Albert EschenmoserChapter 2 Never?Born RNAs: Versatile Modules for Chemical Synthetic Biology (pages 47–67): Davide De Lucrezia, Fabrizio Anella, Cristiano Chiarabelli and Pier Luigi LuisiChapter 3 Synthetic Biology, Tinkering Biology, and Artificial Biology: A Perspective from Chemistry (pages 69–106): Steven A.
