In diesem Buch wird ein umfangreiches Forschungsprogramm zur Erforschung von Signaltransduktionsprozessen mithilfe von Sonden mit kleinen Molekülen vorgestellt. 

Das Programm wurde von der National Natural Science Foundation of China während des 11. Fünfjahresplans ins Leben gerufen, der im Oktober 2008 begann und Ende 2016 abgeschlossen wurde. Der Bericht fasst zunächst die allgemeinen wissenschaftlichen Ziele und den aktuellen Stand der Signaltransduktionsforschung in China und an der internationalen Grenze zusammen. Basierend auf den neuen Methoden und Technologien, die im Bereich der niedermolekularen Sonden erreicht wurden, veranschaulicht dieses Buch die molekularen Schlüsselereignisse bei Signaltransduktionsprozessen in lebenden Systemen und zeigt die Regulation der Signaltransduktion auf. Dies trägt dazu bei, neue Ideen und Strategien für die Diagnose und Vorbeugung von schweren Krankheiten zu erforschen. 

Darüber hinaus werden in diesem Buch durch die interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit von Biologie und Chemie einige wichtige wissenschaftliche Probleme in der Biologie gelöst und neue Entwicklungen auf diesen Gebieten gefördert. Zu diesen Bereichen gehören die Herstellung von Sonden aus kleinen Molekülen zur Untersuchung der Signaltransduktion und die Entwicklung von Nachweismethoden zur Erfassung von Informationen über die Aktivitäten von Biomakromolekülen.

Aufgrund seines Umfangs ist das Buch für Forscher interessant, die in den Bereichen organische Chemie, Naturstoffchemie, medizinische Chemie, analytische Chemie und physikalische Chemie arbeiten. Es fördert auch die multidisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit zwischen Chemie, Medizin, Materialwissenschaft und Biologie.

This book presents a major research program investigating signal transduction processes utilizing small molecule compound probes. The program was launched by the National Natural Science Foundation of China during the 11th Five-Year Plan period, which was started in October 2008 and concluded at the end of 2016. It first summarizes the overall scientific objectives and the current situation of signal transduction research in China and the international frontier. Based on the new method and technologies achieved in small molecule compound probes, this book illustrates key molecular events in signal transduction processes in living systems and reveals the regulation of signal transduction. This helps to explore new ideas and strategies for the diagnosis and prevention of serious diseases. In addition, via interdisciplinary cooperation of biology and chemistry, this book solves some key scientific problems in biology and promotes recent developments in these fields. These areas includethe generation of small molecule compound probes for studying signal transduction and development of detecting methods for gathering information of biomacromolecule activities. Given its scope, the book is of interest to researchers who work in organic chemistry, natural product chemistry, medicinal chemistry, analytical chemistry and physical chemistry. It also promotes the multidisciplinary collaboration among chemistry, medicine, materials science and biology
