Small molecules (e.g. drugs) have been explored as substitutive organic compounds that are now instrumental in impacting cellular players, and have become beneficial effectors against known body disorders.
Large molecules have a complex structure that can affect biologic functions and influence body mechanisms, thereby becoming essential therapeutic media and future medical treatments.
The development of small and large molecules is dependent on highly regulated technological processes right up to the bio-convenient manufacturing stage. Many major biotech providers seek to deliver further therapeutic tools and solutions for known human illnesses, or in many cases for life-influencing conditions in dermal, cardiovascular or neural diseases.
1. Synthesis of Small Molecules
Small molecules are synthesized via synthetic methods from simpler organic precursors that contain a variety of functional groups. Through the Fisher Scientific channel you can choose from a variety of organic, organometallic or heteroatom-functionalized compounds (e.g. organic oxygen compounds, such as organic acids and their derivatives).
