JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL INORGANIC CHEMISTRY

A Publication of the Society of Biological Inorganic Chemistry Objectives and policy of the journal 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.
