Bioinorganic Chemistry
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
