Biological Inorganic Chemistry is a field of science that embraces the principles of Biology and Inorganic Chemistry and that has grown tremendously in recent years. This field has important implications for many other sciences, ranging from medicine to the environment. Furthermore, studies of the roles of metal ions in biological systems often involve the development of relevant chemistry, new methodologies of investigation, and the application of advanced physical techniques.

The Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry (JBIC) seeks to promote this field internationally. This journal is primarily concerned with 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 atomic level. Manuscripts describing high quality and original research concerned with metal ions or other inorganic species and having biological relevance are invited for submission to this journal. Mini-reviews, Reports, and Commentaries are also encouraged.

•JBIC's new Reports category is reserved for results of unusual urgency and significance. 
•See the menu on the left for instructions for submitting Reports.

•Color for all JBIC manuscript publication is now FREE.
