Nature’s specialized metabolites or ‘natural products’ have inspired and motivated broad branches of basic and applied chemistry research and led to the development of over half of our drug therapies. Structure determination can be a complex yet prerequisite aspect of pursuing the chemistry or biology associated with natural products. Our group uses diverse methods for complete structure elucidation including NMR, x-ray diffraction and chiroptical measurements. In this symposium honoring Dr. Tadeusz Molinski, we will present detailed structural studies of new natural products from understudied environmental bacteria, structural surprises from old friends such as the marine alkaloids papu’amine and haliclonadiamine and discuss related biological and ecological implications.
