Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry

Last updated

Scope of the journal

Areas of research covered in the journal include: advances in the understanding of systems involving one or more metal ions set in a biological matrix - particularly metalloproteins and metal-nucleic acid complexes - in order to understand biological function at the molecular level. Synthetic analogues mimicking function, structure and spectroscopy of naturally occurring biological molecules are also covered.

The journal is abstracted/indexed in Chemical Abstracts Service, Current Contents/Life Sciences, PubMed/MEDLINE, and the Science Citation Index.

Indexed by ISI Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry received an impact factor of 2.538 as reported in the 2014 Journal Citation Reports by Thomson Reuters, ranking it 157 out of 289 journals in the category Biochemistry & Molecular Biology [1] and ranking it 9th out of 44 journals in the category Chemistry, Inorganic & Nuclear.

Editor in chief

The current editor in chief of JBIC is Nils Metzler-Nolte (Ruhr University Bochum). [3] [4] He followed Lawrence Que (University of Minnesota) who led the journal from 1999 to 2020 and succeeded Ivano Bertini (University of Florence) who was the founding editor of JBIC.

Related Research Articles

Bioinorganic chemistry is a field that examines the role of metals in biology. Bioinorganic chemistry includes the study of both natural phenomena such as the behavior of metalloproteins as well as artificially introduced metals, including those that are non-essential, in medicine and toxicology. Many biological processes such as respiration depend upon molecules that fall within the realm of inorganic chemistry. The discipline also includes the study of inorganic models or mimics that imitate the behaviour of metalloproteins.
