A. Douglas Kinghorn - Progress in the Chemistry of Organic Natural Products 111

The volumes of this classic series, now referred to simply as Zechmeister after its founder, Laszlo Zechmeister, have appeared under the Springer Imprint ever since the series inauguration in 1938. It is therefore not really surprising to find out that the list of contributing authors, who were awarded a Nobel Prize, is quite long: Kurt Alder, Derek H.R. Barton, George Wells Beadle, Dorothy Crowfoot-Hodgkin, Otto Diels, Hans von Euler-Chelpin, Paul Karrer, Luis Federico Leloir, Linus Pauling, Vladimir Prelog, with Walter Norman Haworth and Adolf F.J. Butenandt serving as members of the editorial board.

The volumes contain contributions on various topics related to the origin, distribution, chemistry, synthesis, biochemistry, function or use of various classes of naturally occurring substances ranging from small molecules to biopolymers.

Each contribution is written by a recognized authority in the field and provides a comprehensive and up-to-date review of the topic in question. Addressed to biologists, technologists, and chemists alike, the series can be used by the expert as a source of information and literature citations and by the non-expert as a means of orientation in a rapidly developing discipline.

All contributions are listed in PubMed.

received his B.S. (2014), M.S. (2016), and Ph.D. (2019) degrees from the University of Tokyo, Japan, under the guidance of Prof. Ikuro Abe. His research focuses mainly on the biosynthesis of fungal sesterterpenoids. Currently, he is working on the enzymes involved in the formation of basic carbon skeletons of the sesterterpenoids.
