内容简介：
【内容简介】 Biological inorganic chemistry is a field of science which embraces the principles of biology and inorganic chemistry and which has grown tremendously in recent years. This field has important implications for many other sciences, ranging from medicine to the environment. Furthermore, studies of the roles of metal ions in biological systems often involve the development of relevant chemistry, new methodologies of investigation, and the application of advanced physical techniques.
JBIC (Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry) seeks to promote this field internationally. The journal is primarily concerned with advances in the understanding of systems involving one or more metal ions set in a biological matrix - particulary metalloproteins and metal-nucleic acid complexes - in order to understand biological function at the molecular level. Synthetic analogues mimicking function, structure and spectroscopy of naturally occurring biological molecules are also of interest to the Journal. Manuscripts describing high-quality and original research concerned with metal ions or other "inorganic" species and having biological relevance are invited for submission to this journal. The Journal publishes original articles, minireviews and commentaries on debated issues.
