JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL INORGANIC CHEMISTRY

A publication of the Society of Biological Inorganic Chemistry

The Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry (JBIC) seeks to promote the field of biological inorganic chemistry 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. Mini-reviews, reports, and commentaries are also encouraged.

For contents, instructions for authors, and announcements please visit the Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry online. View JBIC tables of contents at this address.
