About this Research Topic
Frontiers in Chemical Biology a multidisciplinary open-access journal at the forefront of disseminating and communicating scientific knowledge and impactful discoveries in Chemical Biology research to a broad community of researchers, academics, clinicians, and other relevant stakeholders.
By exploring experimental and interdisciplinary approaches, Frontiers in Chemical Biology aims to further investigate complex biological problems and biomedical systems. The application of chemical approaches ensures molecular solutions to the target problems being investigated.
This journal serves as a unique and reliable repository of applicable research to better our understanding of biological problems through a chemical lens, and address the fundamental questions remaining in the field. Chemical Biology research also has wider applications to methodology, quantitative and analytical techniques.
This Research Topic is dedicated to collecting forward-looking articles composed by the Chief Editors of the journal. These contributions will identify and reflect upon what could be dubbed the “grand challenges” in Chemical Biology research in the following specialities:
· Bioinorganic Chemistry: This section examines the metal ions critical to supporting life whether in the functioning of enzymes (as structural or catalytic co-factors) or in biosynthetic pathways.
· Molecular Sciences: This section explores biological systems and cellular processes across all aspects of biological, cellular or biomedical phenomena.
· Quantitative and Analytical Techniques: This section examines the analysis of chemical and biological materials and systems considering the quantitative aspects of interactions of chemical species with biological systems.
· Structure, Spectroscopy & Imaging: This section investigates advances research of chemical concepts and physicochemical methodologies to understand correlations between structures and biological functions
