《自然化學生物學》是一份國際性月刊，為化學生物學領(lǐng)域的頂級原創(chuàng)研究和評論提供了一個高知名度的論壇。化學生物學結(jié)合了化學、生物學和相關(guān)學科的科學思想和方法，以分子精度理解和操作生物系統(tǒng)。該雜志發(fā)表的論文來自不斷擴大的化學生物學家群體，包括將化學原理和工具應(yīng)用于生物問題的化學家，以及對理解和控制分子水平的生物過程感興趣的生物學家的貢獻。我們優(yōu)先考慮在化學和生物學交叉的任何領(lǐng)域報告重大概念或?qū)嶋H進展的研究。該雜志主要對基礎(chǔ)研究感興趣，特別是那些報告了新的化學或生物工具或?qū)χС稚镞^程的機制提出重要的新分子水平見解的研究。此外，由于化學生物學方法在操作或工程生物系統(tǒng)方面具有廣泛的用途，該雜志還考慮了在化學-生物界面上描述應(yīng)用分子研究的手稿。獨立于科學領(lǐng)域，我們尋求以新的方式將化學和生物學結(jié)合起來的手稿，特別是那些提供了可能在該領(lǐng)域開辟創(chuàng)新研究途徑的重大概念或方法進步的手稿。該雜志力求一個公平而全面的審查過程，強調(diào)嚴格的化學和生物特性。除了發(fā)表原創(chuàng)研究成果，《自然化學生物學》還為化學和生命科學領(lǐng)域的科學家提供了一個交流思想的論壇，并為這一新興領(lǐng)域提供了社區(qū)資源。為此，我們出版的內(nèi)容包括學術(shù)評論和觀點，在我們的網(wǎng)頁和其他期刊上發(fā)表的研究重點，通信和評論，呈現(xiàn)科學和社區(qū)感興趣的主題。

Nature Chemical Biology is an international monthly journal that provides a high-visibility forum for the publication of top-tier original research and commentary for the chemical biology community. Chemical biology combines the scientific ideas and approaches of chemistry, biology and allied disciplines to understand and manipulate biological systems with molecular precision. The journal publishes papers from the expanding community of chemical biologists, including contributions from chemists who are applying the principles and tools of chemistry to biological questions and from biologists who are interested in understanding and controlling biological processes at the molecular level.We give priority to studies that report significant conceptual or practical advances in any area where chemistry and biology intersect. The journal is primarily interested in basic research, especially those studies that report new chemical or biological tools or present significant new molecular-level insights into the mechanisms underpinning biological processes. Additionally, because chemical biology approaches have broad utility for manipulating or engineering biological systems, the journal also considers manuscripts describing applied molecular studies at the chemistry-biology interface. Independent of the scientific area, we seek manuscripts that blend chemistry and biology in new ways, particularly those that provide major conceptual or methodological advances that are likely to open up innovative avenues of research in the field. The journal strives for a fair but comprehensive review process that emphasizes rigorous chemical and biological characterization.In addition to publishing original research, Nature Chemical Biology is a forum for the exchange of ideas between scientists in the chemical and life sciences and a community resource for this emerging field. To this end, we publish content including scholarly reviews and perspectives, highlights of research published in our pages and in other journals, correspondence and commentaries that present topics of scientific and community interest.
