Subjects covered
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. Original articles, mini-reviews and commentaries on debated issues are being published.
The journal is abstracted/indexed in Chemical Abstracts Service, Current Contents/Life Sciences, PubMed/MEDLINE, and the Science Citation Index.
