bioorganic
Life-based carbon compounds
Bioorganic describes chemistry involving organic compounds in biological systems—the intersection of organic chemistry and biochemistry.
Bioorganic chemistry studies how carbon-based molecules function in living organisms: enzyme mechanisms, metabolic pathways, drug interactions with cellular targets.
Her bioorganic research focuses on how proteins fold.
The term also appears in agriculture to describe organic farming methods that emphasize biological processes.
