This textbook emphasizes the practical application of chemical and biological knowledge, going beyond mere knowledge transfer. It equips readers with the necessary tools to develop innovative approaches and explore new therapeutic options in the intricate field of chemical biology and drug development. The primary objective of this book is to offer concrete solutions and inspiration to students, (post)graduate students, and experienced scientists working in universities and industry alike.

The book begins with an introduction to the challenges faced in drug discovery through the lens of chemical biology. The three levels of molecular biology dogma, namely DNA, RNA, and proteins, are then explored as key targets for drug development. This serves as a unifying thread throughout the book.

This English translation of the original German 1st edition, Chemische Biologie, by Marco F. Schmidt, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2020, was accomplished with the assistance of artificial intelligence (machine translation through the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision primarily focused on content to ensure a stylistic difference from conventional translations. Springer Nature is committed to advancing book production tools and related technologies to support authors.
