Abstract
Chemistry is both a natural science and an unnatural science, unnatural in the sense that chemists have greatly extended the materials and transformations found in nature. Bioorganic chemistry shares this dichotomy. Bioorganic chemistry is the field that overlaps organic chemistry on the one side and biology on the other. This article describes a number of areas in which bioorganic chemistry has made major contributions over the 75 years during which the Journal of Chemical Education has been published; this article also discusses areas in which we can expect advances in the next 25 years. Work in the chemistry that interfaces with biology, bioorganic chemistry, is one of the most exciting areas of science, with great promise for the future.

Teaching Research: A Curriculum Model That Works
Nancy E. Carpenter and Ted M. PappenfusJournal of Chemical Education2009 86 (8), 940Teaching Research: A Curriculum Model That Works
Nancy E. Carpenter and Ted M. PappenfusJournal of Chemical Education2009 86 (8), 940An interdisciplinary, two-credit, one-semester laboratory course required of second-year chemistry and biochemistry majors at a small, rural, undergraduate liberal arts institution is described. During the first half of the course students are provided ...

Sarah R. Kirk , Todd P. Silverstein and Jeffrey J. WillemsenJournal of Chemical Education2006 83 (8), 1171Teaching Biologically Relevant Chemistry throughout the Four-Year Chemistry Curriculum
Sarah R. Kirk , Todd P. Silverstein and Jeffrey J. WillemsenJournal of Chemical Education2006 83 (8), 1171Many of today's undergraduate chemistry students appreciate exposure to topics of interest in the health and life sciences. Our first-year chemistry students learn introductory chemistry using eight case studies, four of which (air pollution, marine ...
Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy, a Tool to Investigate Supramolecular Dynamics: Inclusion Complexes of Pyronines with Cyclodextrin
Wajih Al-Soufi, Belén Reija, Mercedes Novo, Suren Felekyan, Ralf Kühnemuth, and Claus A. M. SeidelJournal of the American Chemical Society2005 127 (24), 8775-8784Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy, a Tool to Investigate Supramolecular Dynamics: Inclusion Complexes of Pyronines with Cyclodextrin
Wajih Al-Soufi, Belén Reija, Mercedes Novo, Suren Felekyan, Ralf Kühnemuth, and Claus A. M. SeidelJournal of the American Chemical Society2005 127 (24), 8775-8784The control of supramolecular systems requires a thorough understanding of their dynamics on a molecular level. We present fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS) as a powerful spectroscopic tool to study supramolecular dynamics with single molecule ...
Modeling the Drug Discovery Process: The Isolation and Biological Testing of Eugenol from Clove Oil
Patricia M. Smiley , William H. MilesJournal of Chemical Education2002 79 (1), 90Modeling the Drug Discovery Process: The Isolation and Biological Testing of Eugenol from Clove Oil
Patricia M. Smiley , William H. MilesJournal of Chemical Education2002 79 (1), 90This experiment describes the isolation and biological testing of eugenol and neutral compounds from commercially available clove oil. By coupling the chemical separation of the components of clove oil (an experiment described in many introductory organic ...
