Chemical biology of nucleic acids: modifications, interactions, and therapeutic applications

The special issue entitled Chemical Biology of Nucleic Acids: Modifications, Interactions, and Therapeutic Applications invites top-level original papers and review articles in a wide range of areas related to the chemical biology of nucleic acids.

We welcome research on the design and synthesis of nucleosides, nucleotides, and oligonucleotides, as well as evaluations of their biological activities both in vitro and in vivo. In addition, submissions focused on chemical biology research and drug discovery related to long DNA and RNA, and the development of new chemical biology techniques and analytical methods for nucleic acids, are also encouraged.

You are welcome to submit articles on the abovementioned themes. RSC Chemical Biology is dedicated to publishing and disseminating the most exceptionally significant, breakthrough findings of interest to the chemical biology community.
