Molecular BioSystems

1.0 General policy

Molecular BioSystems is a monthly journal publishing reviews and important original research in the form of communications, methods and papers covering the interface between chemistry and biology. It publishes high quality chemical biology research with a particular focus at the interface between chemistry and the -omic sciences and systems biology.

Main research areas include:

• Chemical biology approaches including small molecule probes of biological structure and activity, chemical genetics, enzymology, directed evolution, protein engineering, display technologies, combinatorial chemistry, and diversity-oriented synthesis.
• Systems biology approaches including simulation and modelling, data manipulation, integration and analysis techniques, and high-throughput technologies.
• Proteomics and genomics approaches including structural and functional proteomics and genomics, spectroscopic and chromatographic techniques, chip-based technologies, and array technologies.
• Cellular processes including signalling pathways and mechanisms of signal transduction, molecular recognition and interactions, transport and secretion, cell-cycling and division, and cell death.
• Metabolism including bioenergetics and energy transfer, endogenous and exogenous metabolic processes, micro- and macrometabolism, metabolic control, and metabonomics.
