New Directions in Organic & Biological Chemistry

Organic and biological chemistry forms a key major division of chemistry research, with continuous rapid progress in existing areas as well as development of new avenues of research. This book series encompasses cutting-edge research across the entire field, including impor-tant developments in both new and fundamental aspects of the discipline. It covers all aspects of organic and biological chemistry. The series is designed to be very wide in scope and provides a vehicle for the publication of edited review volumes, monographs, and “how to” manuals of experimental practice.

Topic Areas Include:

• Synthetic Chemistry
• Natural Products Chemistry 
• Materials Chemistry
• Supramolecular Chemistry
• Electrochemistry
• Organometallic Chemistry
• Green Chemistry(including catalysis and biocatalysis)
• Polymer Chemistry
• Protein-protein, Protein-DNA, Protein-lipid, Protein-carbohydrate interactions
• Enzyme/protein mechanism(including cofactor-protein interactions and mechanisms of action)
• Pathways in cofactor (including metal) homeostasis
• Synthetic biology - the engineering of natural systems towards novel functions
• Development of physical methods and tools (e.g., new spectroscopic methods, imaging techniques and tools)
