目前的意見期刊是由于認識到專家越來越難以跟上在其主題上發表的信息量不斷擴大的情況而發展起來的。在目前的《化學生物學》雜志上，我們通過系統地提供:1. 專家對當前化學生物學進展的觀點以清晰易讀的形式呈現。2. 最有趣的論文的評估，由專家注釋，從大量的原始出版物。把主題分成幾個部分。化學生物學這門學科被分成主題部分，這些主題部分被定期復習以保持它們的相關性。組學生物無機化學生物催化和生物轉化下一代療法分子成像合成生物學合成生物分子能源機械的生物學

The Current Opinion journals were developed out of the recognition that it is increasingly difficult for specialists to keep up to date with the expanding volume of information published in their subject. In Current Opinion in Chemical Biology, we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner: 1. The views of experts on current advances in chemical biology in a clear and readable form. 2. Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.Division of the subject into sections.The subject of chemical biology is divided into themed sections which are reviewed regularly to keep them relevant.OmicsBioinorganic chemistryBiocatalysis and BiotransformationNext Generation TherapeuticsMolecular ImagingSynthetic BiologySynthetic BiomoleculesEnergyMechanistic Biology
