We’re pleased to announce that a new themed collection from RSC Chemical Biology has now been published online!
Read the collection
This themed collection, guest edited by Angela Casini (Technical University of Munich, Germany), Hui Chao (Sun Yat-Sen University, China), Hongzhe Sun (University of Hong Kong, China), and Christopher J. Chang (University of California, Berkeley, United States), offers articles showcasing the ongoing interest in the chemical biology of metals.
This themed collection offers articles showcasing the ongoing interest in the chemical biology of metals. Recent years have witnessed significant advances in the development of new imaging probes that can probe the physiological and pathological roles of metals in biology and/or leverage unique properties of metal coordination chemistry and metal-based medicines. In addition, significant progress has been made in understanding metallo-medicines and studying metal-based catalysis and signaling in living systems. We therefore have collected contributions that are representative of the tremendous promise and pace of growth in this area.
A small selection of the articles is shared below – please visit the above link for the full collection. All articles in RSC Chemical Biology are open access and free to read.
