The IOKh s life-science division was developing the chemistry of steroids, terpenoids, proteins, and carbohydrates. Flourishing in the Institute, the Kochetkov s laboratory contributed significantly to the chemistry and biochemistry of carbohydrates and became one of the leading laboratories in this field in the world.

The study of plant terpenoids shares many of the same tools for their isolation, identification, characterization, and synthesis that are required in other natural product research. Advances in separation science, analytical chemistry, spectroscopic tools, and synthetic organic chemistry all affect the study of terpenoids in plants.

LC is the most widely used of all of the analytical separation techniques. The reasons for the popularity of the method are its sensitivity, its ready adaptability to accurate quantitative determinations, its case of automation, its suitability for separating nonvolatile species or thermally fragile ones, and above all. its widespread applicability to substances that are important to industry, to many fields of science, and to the public. Examples of such materials include amino acids, proteins, nucleic acids, hydrocarbons, carbohydrates, drugs, terpenoids, pesticides, antibiotics, steroids, inetal-organic species, and a variety of inorganic substances,...

Chugaev, L. Ber. 1899, 32, 3332. Lev A. Chugaev (1873-1922) was bom in Moscow, Russia. He was a Professor of Chemistry at Petrograd, a position once held hy Dimitri Mendeleyev and Paul Walden. In addition to terpenoids, Chugaev also investigated nickel and platinum chemistry. He completely devoted his life to science. The light in Chugaev s study would invariahly hum until 4 or 5 a.m.

Finally, a full understanding of the biochemistry of terpenoids in plants will require an interdisciplinary effort, combining organic chemistry, biochemistry, plant physiology, plant anatomy, and the applied sciences. The conventional segregation of scientific disciplines has been one of the factors impeding progress in this area.
