Chemical Biology
A section of Molecules (ISSN 1420-3049).
Section Information
The section of Chemical Biology of the ‘Molecules’ journal aims to publishes reviews and original research articles within the field of Chemical Biology. While the definition of the field overlaps with medicinal and bioorganic chemistry, distinct aspects can be defined which earmarks studies for this section.
The projects are at the interface of Chemistry and Biology.
Molecules are used for interference with or visualize biological systems at the molecular level which can lead to new insights into these systems and their biological mechanisms or provide tools for their manipulation.
Studies must include bioactive synthesized or isolated compounds or probes to realize the above goals. Studies in which compounds are described that capture or detect specific components in a biological context are part of this section.
