The Chemical Biology section of the journal Current Chinese Science publishes original research articles, letters, reviews/mini-reviews and guest edited thematic issues on various topics related to chemical biology.
This section is not limited to a specific aspect of the field but is instead devoted to a wide range of sub fields in the area. Articles of a multidisciplinary nature are particularly welcome. Submissions in the following chemical biology areas are of special interest to the readers of this journal:
• Assay development
• Biocatalysis and biotransformation
• Bioorganic and bioinorganic chemistry
• Cell signaling chemistry
• Chemical genomics
• Chemical informatics
• Chemical mechanisms of biological systems
• Chemical synthesis
• Energy (e.g. biological pathways for electrons, protons and photo-excitations)
• Genome- and proteome-wide analysis
• Mechanisms of biological redox regulation
• Mechanisms of drug design
• Mechanistic biology
• Metabolomics
• Metal ions in biological systems
• Metalloenzymes
• Molecular imaging, high resolution methods in microscopy
• Natural product synthesis
• Next generation therapeutics
• Photo-induced processes and sight switches
• Plant cell based chemistry
