RSC Chemical Biology

Scope

RSC Chemical Biology is a gold open access journal dedicated to publishing and disseminating exceptional, breakthrough research and high quality reviews at the interface of chemistry and biology. All published articles must be of significant general interest to the broad chemical biology community. We welcome contributions from across the breadth of chemical biology, from the development of new chemical and biological techniques and tools, to studies furthering the understanding and/or manipulation of biological processes at the molecular level. We also encourage translational research that bridges chemistry and chemical biology to medicine. Topics include but are not limited to: • Analytical methods (including sensing, imaging, spectroscopy, omics) • Bioorthogonal chemistry • Biosynthesis, biomimetics and bioengineering • Chemical synthesis and synthetic 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)
