The Wiley Encyclopedia of Chemical Biology is an authoritative new
work whose goal is to illuminate the crucial role of chemistry and
chemical techniques in the life sciences. The encyclopedia will
adopt an inclusive editorial approach, encompassing fundamental and
blue-sky science as well as those areas of research that have more
immediate medical or commercial applications. The scope and
structure of the work will reflect the multidimensional character
of chemical biology, focusing in particular on the fundamental
science of biological structures and systems, the use of chemical
and biological techniques to elucidate that science, and the
applications of this knowledge in areas as diverse as drug
discovery, sensor technology, and catalysis.
Major topics areas covered in the encyclopedia:
- Chemical Views of Biology
- Biomolecules within the Cell
- Chemistry of Biological Processes and Systems
- Chemical Biology of Cellular Compartments
- Synthetic Molecules as Tools for Chemical Biology
- Technologies and Techniques in Chemical Biology
- Applications of Chemical Biology
