Elucidation of Complex Natural Products

Elucidation of complex natural products refers to identifying and understanding their detailed chemical structures. Scientists use advanced techniques such as spectroscopy and chromatography to analyze these intricate molecules, which often come from plants, fungi, or marine organisms. This process reveals how atoms are arranged, helping researchers understand their potential uses in medicine, agriculture, or industry. By deciphering these structures, scientists can explore their biological activity, synthesize similar compounds, or develop new applications, advancing pharmaceutical discovery and natural product research.
