The understanding of cellular communication pathways in molecular detail is an important goal of bioorganic research. The synthesis of analogues of active substances (e.g. 1 ) to study the regulation of muscle contraction or the specific lipid modification of representative peptides (→ 2 ) to investigate their subcellular, targeted transfer to intracellular membranes are examples of the capability of organic synthesis is in the research of biological signal transduction mechanisms.
