Call For Papers: Chemoenzymatic Synthesis

Guest edited by Hiroki Oguri, Hongzhi Cao & Suvarn Kulkarni

We are delighted to announce a call for papers for our latest online themed collection in Organic & Biomolecular Chemistry on Chemoenzymatic Synthesis guest edited by Professor Hiroki Oguri (University of Tokyo, Japan), Professor Hongzhi Cao (Ocean University of China, China) and Professor Suvarn Kulkarni (IIT Bombay, India).

This collection in OBC is dedicated to the emerging advancements in Chemoenzymatic Synthesis across a wide array of natural products, including sugars, lipids, terpenes, polyketides, peptide, alkaloids and their hybrids. This integrative synthetic approach not only harnesses the power of enzymes but also leverages the versatility of chemical synthesis regarding substrate design and product diversification.

This call for papers is open to both communication (for urgent work – up to 5 pages) and full papers.

Open for submissions until 30th April 2024

If you would like to contribute to this themed collection, you can submit your article directly through the OBC online submission service. Please mention that this submission is a contribution to the Chemoenzymatic Synthesis collection in the “Themed issues” section of the submission form and add a “Note to the Editor” that this is from the Open Call. The Editorial Office reserves the right to check suitability of submissions in relation to the scope of both the journal and the collection, and inclusion of accepted articles in the final themed issue is not guaranteed.

Please also note that all submissions will be subject to our usual rigorous peer review process, including initial assessment to ensure the high standards of the journal and acceptance is not guaranteed. Accepted manuscripts will be highlighted together in a dedicated virtual collection alongside an editorial, regardless of submission date, and there will be no delay in the publication of all accepted manuscripts into regular issues of OBC.

If you have any questions about the collection, then please contact the Editorial Office at obc-rsc@rsc.org and they will be happy to help.

With best regards,
