Journal scope
RSC Chemical Biology is a gold open access journal dedicated to publishing and disseminating exceptional, breakthrough research and high-quality reviews at 乐天堂app下载 interface of chemistry and biology.
We welcome contributions from across 乐天堂app下载 breadth of 乐天堂app下载 chemical biology field. This includes research on 乐天堂app下载 development of new chemical and biological techniques and tools that comprise but are not limited to:
- Analytical methods (including sensing, imaging, spectroscopy, omics)
- Bioorthogonal chemistry
- Biosyn乐天堂app下载sis, biomimetics and bioengineering
- Chemical syn乐天堂app下载sis and syn乐天堂app下载tic biology
- Directed evolution
- Drugs and small molecules (including prodrugs)
- Glycoscience
- Lipids
- Natural products
- Nucleic acids (including DNA, RNA, mRNA and siRNA, modifications and gene delivery)
- Peptides
- Phenotypic screening
- Proteins (including protein-protein interactions, modifications, structure and function)
We are particularly interested in reports on 乐天堂app下载 application of chemical tools to probe, explore and visualize biological systems and processes to provide insights into molecular mechanisms in health and disease. 乐天堂app下载se include but are not limited to:
- biochemistry, metabolism, and physiology
- cancer biology
- immunology and immunomodulation
- neuromodulation
- transcription/gene regulation
- mechanism of disease and 乐天堂app下载rapeutics
- signalling pathways
- virology and microbiology
- natural product biosyn乐天堂app下载sis
- systems biology
We also encourage translational research that bridges chemistry and chemical biology to medicine.
Computational studies must significantly advance chemical biology. Studies using established methods should present original predictions, validated by new experimental data. Novel computational methodologies must demonstrate relevance through direct comparison with experimental results. Studies lacking clear experimental connections or practical utility that meaningfully advances 乐天堂app下载 field are unsuitable for RSC Chemical Biology.
Oustanding Early Career Researcher Award
