A novel water soluble curcumin derivative (NCD) was developed through covalent modification of the curcumin molecule on sites remote from its natural functional groups rendering it water soluble.

Recently, interest in prenylation has expanded to include biotechnology applications because prenyltransferases can be used to enzymatically incorporate non-natural functional groups into protein substrates.

Many natural products contain several functional groups located at specific sites within a large, complicated, three-dimensional structure.
