Molecules | Special Issue: Chemical Biology Research in Asia

Dear Colleagues,

Chemical biology is an interdisciplinary field of study that is often defined as “chemistry-initiated biology.” As biological processes all stem from chemical events, it is possible to use chemical approaches to understand and, in some cases, manipulate biological events. This rapidly growing field of study will continue to introduce new avenues for future drug discovery and novel medical applications. The current Special Issue focuses on basic aspects of chemical biology: the creation and application of “chemical probes” and “chemical tools” which allow us to analyze and understand important biological events and disease states, paving the way for medical and diagnostic innovations. This Special Issue will be composed of communications, full articles, and focused reviews containing recent advances in chemical biology in Asia.
