Bioorganic Chemistry and Medicinal Chemistry
A section of Current Issues in Molecular Biology (ISSN 1467-3045).
Section Information
This Section of the Current Issues in Molecular Biology (CIMB) journal publishes research that addresses biological questions/queries at the molecular level via employing organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry and molecular chemistry. The scope of this Section covers a range of topics at the organic chemistry–biology interface, including natural products and synthetic molecules with biological effects at the molecular level, medicinal chemistry, computational chemistry, enzyme catalysis and transformation, enzyme inhibition, biomimetic chemistry, and biological probes. For publication in CIMB, research must provide significant new innovation and insight into the bioorganic chemistry and medicinal chemistry fields with a focus on molecular research.
