Nature Chemical Biology

Nature Chemical Biology is an international monthly journal that provides a high-visibility forum for the publication of top-tier original research and commentary for the chemical biology community. Chemical biology combines the scientific ideas and approaches of chemistry, biology and allied disciplines to understand and manipulate biological systems with molecular precision. The journal publishes papers from the expanding community of chemical biologists, including contributions from chemists who are applying the principles and tools of chemistry to biological questions and from biologists who are interested in understanding and controlling biological processes at the molecular level.We give priority to studies that report significant conceptual or practical advances in any area where chemistry and biology intersect. The journal is primarily interested in basic research, especially those studies that report new chemical or biological tools or present significant new molecular-level insights into the mechanisms underpinning biological processes. Additionally, because chemical biology approaches have broad utility for manipulating or engineering biological systems, the journal also considers manuscripts describing applied molecular studies at the chemistry-biology interface. Independent of the scientific area, we seek manuscripts that blend chemistry and biology in new ways, particularly those that provide major conceptual or methodological advances that are likely to open up innovative avenues of research in the field. The journal strives for a fair but comprehensive review process that emphasizes rigorous chemical and biological characterization.In addition to publishing original research, Nature Chemical Biology is a forum for the exchange of ideas between scientists in the chemical and life sciences and a community resource for this emerging field. To this end, we publish content including scholarly reviews and perspectives, highlights of research published in our pages and in other journals, correspondence and commentaries that present topics of scientific and community interest.

Nature Chemical Biology期刊中文简介

《自然化学生物学》是一份国际性月刊，为化学生物学领域的顶级原创研究和评论提供了一个高知名度的论坛。化学生物学结合了化学、生物学和相关学科的科学思想和方法，以分子精度理解和操作生物系统。该杂志发表的论文来自不断扩大的化学生物学家群体，包括将化学原理和工具应用于生物问题的化学家，以及对理解和控制分子水平的生物过程感兴趣的生物学家的贡献。我们优先考虑在化学和生物学交叉的任何领域报告重大概念或实际进展的研究。该杂志主要对基础研究感兴趣，特别是那些报告了新的化学或生物工具或对支持生物过程的机制提出重要的新分子水平见解的研究。此外，由于化学生物学方法在操作或工程生物系统方面具有广泛的用途，该杂志还考虑了在化学-生物界面上描述应用分子研究的手稿。独立于科学领域，我们寻求以新的方式将化学和生物学结合起来的手稿，特别是那些提供了可能在该领域开辟创新研究途径的重大概念或方法进步的手稿。该杂志力求一个公平而全面的审查过程，强调严格的化学和生物特性。除了发表原创研究成果，《自然化学生物学》还为化学和生命科学领域的科学家提供了一个交流思想的论坛，并为这一新兴领域提供了社区资源。为此，我们出版的内容包括学术评论和观点，在我们的网页和其他期刊上发表的研究重点，通信和评论，呈现科学和社区感兴趣的主题。
