Abstract:
Current research of the Waldmann group interests include bioorganic chemistry and natural product synthesis as well as biocatalysis, stereoselective synthesis and combinatorial chemistry. A major focus of the research activities is on the combination of organic chemistry, biophysics and biology for the synthesis and biological evaluation of peptide and protein conjugates that are involved in biological signal transduction processes. More recently syntheses of natural products and natural-product-derived compound libraries on polymeric supports have been investigated by the Waldmann group. Herbert Waldmann has been awarded numerous academic distinctions for his work, including the Otto Bayer Prize, the Emil- Fischer Medal of the German Chemical Society (GDCh), die Hans-Herloss-Medal and the Max Bergmann Medal.
