Custom-designed drugs At the cusp of dot-com frenzy and the biotech century‚ a group of influential scientists and pundits has begun zealously promoting a new bio-engineered utopia.

It results from the elimination of a molecule of water from two molecules of acetic acid (see Fig. 11.2). Figure 11.3 below
