Abstract

We are interested in the synthesis and characterization of isoelectronic and isostructural boron analogues of biologically important molecules. These may be of use to probe fundamental biochemical events at the molecular level as well as to provide entirely new classes of compounds of potential pharmacological value. Along these lines we have prepared some of the first examples of boron analogues of the a-amino acids1-'and their ...
