Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry

The emphasis of the Journal is on interdisciplinary research covering the structure and mechanism of action of metallo-biomolecules primarily at the molecular level. The Journal reports on the chemistry, biochemistry and the structure-function relationships of the following systems:

• metallo-proteins and metallo-chaperones in homeostasis and trafficking
• metal-dependent gene regulation and signalling
• interaction of metal ions as well as coordination and organometallic compounds with nucleic acids, other biomolecules and reactive species
• metal-containing molecules in medicine, including therapeutics, imaging agents for diagnosis and theranostics
• metalloneurochemistry and the role of metal ions in sensory perception
• regulatory role of metals in immunology
• synthesis and application of metal ion sensors in biological systems
• natural and artificial metallo-enzymes
• synthesis and properties of metal complexes as structural and functional models of metallo-biosites
• preparation, structural characterization and mode of action of synthetic metallo-bionanomaterials
• molecular mechanisms of toxicity of metals and metalloids and their complexes, and their chemistry in the environment
• computational studies of metallo-biomolecules and their synthetic models
• biophysical, analytical and spectroscopic methods to study metallo-biomolecules
