Bioinorganic Chemistry
A section of International Journal of Molecular Sciences (ISSN 1422-0067).
Section Information
This section of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS) aims to rapidly publish contributions on all aspects of bioinorganic chemistry. Contributions on molecular approaches of inorganic ion-participating biological actions in appropriate in vivo models, microbes, animals, humans, or plants will be considered. Novel methods-, models- or systems-based articles are also within the scope of this section. Topics include, but are not limited to:
- structure, function and chemistry of metallobiomoleculars, e.g., metalloproteins, metalloenzymes, inorganic ion-boning biomoleculars
- metal–biomolecule (e.g., proteins, nucleic acids) interactions
- bioinorganic material preparation, characterization and its biological or medical application
- coordination biochemistry
- metal-participating gene regulation
- metal-containing drugs
