Bioorganic

The unique combination of organic chemistry and molecular biology which is nowadays applied in nucleic acid synthesis and analysis led to a great interest in nucleic acid bioorganic chemistry. We give a few examples of recent synthetic endeavours in this field.

Periodic Table showing elements of importance in biological systems principal element of bioorganic compounds essential mineral nutrients for humans and other animals 1 essential mineral nutrient for animals, probably for humans M present in body, not known to be a nutrient or toxic element M element used in medicine element generally poisonous and present in body, possibly toxic.

Toxicity. Low toxicity from solvent-vapor inhalation or skin contac t is preferred because of potential exposure during repair of equipment or while connections are being broken after a solvent transfer. Also, low toxicity to fish and bioorganisms is preferred when extraction is used as a pretreatment for wastewater before it enters a biotreatment plant and with final effluent discharge to a stream or lake. Often solvent toxicity is low if water solubility is high.
