Biodiversity:

This
proceedings of the 3rd IUPAC International Conference on Biodiversity
discusses the value of bioresources and the need for their
conservation in terms of the biomolecular chemistry of naturally
occurring molecular systems. The development of pharmaceutical,
agricultural, and industrial products from bioresources can
be used to promote incentives for conservation by providing
an economic return to sustainable use of those sources. The
54 chapters document the search for new species and how much
of life remains to be scientifically identified. The proceedings
identifies strategies and methods, and their implications,
in protecting biodiversity. In summary, biomolecular aspects
of biodiversity and innovative utilization of bioresources
are discussed from very diverse points of view, ranging from
their botanical, zoological, taxonomic, and genomic expressions
to their biomolecular, structural, mechanistic, and functional
aspects.
