Summary:

<P>A tribute to the pioneering scientific work of Professor Koji Nakanishi, whose studies of natural products have effaced some of the conventional boundaries between biology and chemistry. It discusses an array of chromatographic separation methods and determination of structures on a microscale, analyzes bioassay-directed fractionation and other means of isolating biologically active compounds from plants and other sources, covers vital enzymes isolated from marine organisms such as algae, and more.</P>
