Many small molecules occur naturally as "messenger" chemicals which regulate the behaviour and functions of microbes, plants, insects and animals. Examples include hormones, pheromones, phytoalexins, and antifeedants. These biofunctional molecules are of great interest to researchers in helping deve
## Synthesis of Biofunctional Molecules of Microbial Origin Micro-organisms produce hormones and pheromones so as to regulate their own lives. They also generate diverse secondary metabolites such as toxins and antibiotics to control the lives of the organisms. Some of the secondary metabolites po
Systems that can be polymerized in situ upon exposure to light radiation may have significant applications in tissue engineering and drug delivery. However, the light-induced polymerization step, which is the requisite for this technology, could be potentially deleterious to sensitive bioactive agen
