Bioorganic Chemistry

Bioorganic Chemistry publishes research that addresses biological questions at the molecular level, using organic chemistry and principles of physical organic chemistry. The scope of the journal covers a range of topics at the organic chemistry-biology interface, including: enzyme catalysis, biotransformation and enzyme inhibition; nucleic acids chemistry; natural product chemistry and natural product biosynthesis; antimicrobial agents; lipid and peptide chemistry; biophysical chemistry; and biomimetic chemistry.

For manuscripts dealing with bioactive compounds, the Journal requires that the molecular target of the compounds described must be known, and must be demonstrated experimentally in the manuscript. Studies supported by molecular docking are welcome, but must be supported by experimental data.

The Journal publishes regular articles, preliminary communications, reviews and mini-reviews. Reviews are normally invited by Editors or Editorial Board members. Authors of unsolicited reviews should first contact an Editor or Editorial Board member to determine whether the proposed article is within the scope of the Journal.
