Aims and Scope

The purpose of the journal Bioinorganic Chemistry and Applications is to publish original research in the form of articles, notes, letters and reviews in the general field of bioinorganic chemistry and its applications. Its scope includes all aspects of bioinorganic chemistry, including bioorganometallic chemistry and applied bioinorganic chemistry. The journal welcomes papers relating to metalloenzymes and model compounds, metal-based drugs, biomaterials, biocatalysis and bioelectronics, metals in biology and medicine, metals toxicology and metals in the environment, metal interactions with biomolecules and spectroscopic applications. Articles in the field of metal based drugs are currently published in a journal bearing that name. However, Bioinorganic Chemistry and Applications entirely encompasses the scope of Metal Based Drugs. It is therefore intended to cease publication of the latter journal from the end of 2002, with publication of Bioinorganic Chemistry and Applications scheduled to begin in early 2003.
