About this Research Topic
'Bridging Chemistry with Biology through Speciation Chemistry in Important Processes Involving Essential and Non-essential Metal Ions: Developed from the ICBIC 2023' was developed from the ICBIC conference. This collection focuses on speciation chemistry,due to its importance in several symposia celebrated there. However, other scientists in the area of Biological Chemistry and interested in the proposed topics are welcome to submit to this Research Topic as well.
Speciation is crucial to chemical and biological events, allowing to distinguish among different possibilities the most important species responsible for an activity or reactivity noticed. This special issue intends to highlight examples of speciation chemistry as it applies to Chemical Biology. It aims illustrating examples of protonation state, redox status, isomerism, tautomerism, and hydrolytic chemistry as it applies to mechanisms, signal transduction, genetics, omics, metals in medicine and all correlated areas. Given the importance of speciation chemistry at the 20th ICBIC conference in 2023 with several symposia celebrated there with this focus. This is an opportunity to bring together some recent ideas and initiatives under debate. Further, other scientists working in the area of Biological Chemistry and also interested in the proposed topics are welcome to submit to this Research Topic as well.
