Abstract
Nature was and still is a
prolific source of inspiration in pharmacy, cosmetics, and agro-food
industries for the discovery of bioactive products. Informatics is now
present in most human activities. Research in natural products is no
exception. In silico tools may help in numerous cases when studying
natural substances: in pharmacognosy, to store and structure the large
and increasing number of data, and to facilitate or accelerate the
analysis of natural products in regards to traditional uses of natural
resources; in drug discovery, to rationally design libraries for
screening natural compound mimetics and identification of biological
activities for natural products. Here we review different aspects of in
silico approaches applied to the research and development of bioactive
substances and give examples of using nature-inspiring power and
ultimately valorize biodiversity.
There's sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction. Sexual reproduction involves both male and female in order to reproduce, while asexual reproduction involves an organism reproducing on its own without the help of another partner.
The one that is not an intercellular communication would be : A message is distributed across plasma membrane
for this occurrence to happen, a cell doesn't has to interact with other cell, which also commonly described as intracellular communication
hope this helps
