Themed collection on “Synthesis and chemical biology of macrocycles”

We’re pleased to announce that our first guest-edited themed collection, on the Synthesis and Chemical Biology of Macrocycles, has now been published online! We thank the Guest Editors, Gong Chen (Nankai University), Monika Raj (Emory University), and Andrei Yudin (University of Toronto) for their work editing this collection.

Read the collection

Macrocycles are an important class of compounds with a long-recognised, significant role in chemical biology and drug discovery. This themed collection offers a collection of articles that showcase the ongoing interest in the chemical biology of macrocycles. Recent years have witnessed the development of new synthetic and biological strategies to construct large rings composed of amino acid residues. In addition, significant progress has been made in efforts to understand and predict the properties of macrocycles. We have collected contributions that are representative of the tremendous promise and pace of growth in this area.

The work in this collection covers all areas of the synthesis and chemical biology of macrocycles, including new synthetic and biosynthetic pathways for synthesis of diverse range of macrocycles; peptide and peptidomimetics macrocycles; design and synthesis of macrocycles for biological and medicinal applications; cell permeable macrocycles for targeting intracellular proteins; structural studies of macrocycles to expand the conformational drug space, and much more. Taken together, the papers collected in this themed collection represent the state of the art in macrocycles and highlight work at the interface of chemistry and biology.

The first RSC Chemical Biology Emerging Investigators collection

Photographs of the six corresponding authors on the articles in this collection

We’re pleased to announce that our first Emerging Investigators collection has now been published online!

Read the collection

RSC Chemical Biology is committed to supporting and recognizing the excellent work of early career researchers. We are thus proud to present our first annual Emerging Investigators collection. The collection showcases research carried out by internationally recognised, up-and-coming scientists in the early stage of their independent careers who are making outstanding contributions to their respective fields. Each contributor was recommended by an expert in their field for carrying out work with the potential to influence future directions. The collection encompasses the entire scope of the journal.

Looking forward, we will soon be inviting for an Emerging Investigators Collection that will be published in 2023, and you are encouraged to recommend a colleague at the beginning of their career by contacting the Editorial Office. To be considered, a scientist must be a research group leader with less than 10 years of independent research (although the timescale is flexible in cases of career breaks and personal circumstances).

Congratulations to all the featured researchers on their work. Join us in celebrating their contributions!

Cross-journal themed collection on “Multimolecular Crowding in Biosystems”

We’re excited to share with you our new cross-journal themed collection on “Multimolecular Crowding in Biosystems” for RSC Chemical Biology and ChemComm.

Living cells comprise a variety of molecules from small cations/anions, metabolites, lipids, peptides, to biopolymers such as peptides/proteins, polysaccharides, and nucleic acids. These biomolecules are highly condensed inside the live cells and their distribution and concentration are heterogeneously varied (in a controlled manner). Such multimolecular crowding conditions are sharply distinct from those of conventional biochemical study, should be crucial for elucidating structures and functions of biomolecules in live cells, as well as for developing functional artificial molecules useful in chemical biology study, drug discovery, and medical diagnosis.

In this cross-journal themed issue, explore research papers, reviews, and communications in ChemComm and RSC Chemical Biology concerning chemical, physical, theoretical, or biological characterization of various biomolecules under the multimolecular crowding conditions. Also discover the development of chemical tools and devices enabling the detection and imaging of key biomolecules and the relevant events in live cells, methods for the structural modification and functional switching/control of biomolecules, and analytical or physical chemistry approaches applicable to study of multimolecular crowding biosystems.
