Aims and Scope:
Nature Chemical Biology
is a new interdisciplinary journal that
publishes the most innovative and important
research advances at the interface of chemistry
and biology. The journal publishes research
from chemists who are applying the principles,
language and tools of chemistry to biological
systems at the molecular level. The scope of
the journal covers all areas of contemporary
research at the interface of chemistry and biology.
Each issue provides the reader with a combination of research articles in two formats (Letters and Articles), supported by enhanced content such as Reviews, Research highlights, and Commentaries designed to inform readers of new developments in chemical biology.
Readership:
Nature Chemical Biology is relevant to
organic, inorganic, bioorganic, bioinorganic and
biophysical chemists, biochemists, medicinal
chemists, pharmaceutical scientists, molecular
and structural biologists as well as biologists
who seek to understand biological systems at
the molecular level, including cellular,
molecular, developmental and neuro-biologists.
Online features and site license access:
- Online archive available back to June 2005.
- A site license provides access to all content published during the supply period. Access is granted to a further rolling four-year archive during the supply period only. Archive content not included in the license agreement is available to purchase.
- Unique online functionality includes (i) an online index of the chemical compounds that are described in each paper, with links to the structures deposited in the PubChem database and (ii) 3D rendering of compounds allowing users to view and manipulate chemical compounds in three dimensions.
- Indexed in CAS, Current Contents, Science Citation Index and Medline (PubMed).
