We’re pleased to announce that a new themed collection from RSC Chemical Biology has now been published online!
This themed collection is Guest Edited by Prof. John Spencer (University of Sussex, UK), Dr Gemma Nixon (University of Liverpool, UK), and Prof. Miraz Rahman (King’s College London, UK). It features contributions which investigate general medicinal chemistry, chemical probes for imaging, proteomics, PROTACs, fragment-based drug discovery, covalent binders, chemical tools for protein profiling and activity modulation, and natural product inspired medicinal chemistry and chemical biology.
A small selection of the articles has been provided below – please visit the link above for the full collection. All articles in RSC Chemical Biology are open access and free to read.
