"ACS Chemical biology" from American Chemical Society.The American Chemical Society The American Chemical Society (ACS) is a learned society (professional association) based in the United States that supports scientific inquiry in the field of chemistry. Founded in 1876 at New York University, the ACS currently has over 160,000 members at all degree-levels and in (ACS (Asynchronous Communications Server) See network access server. ; Washington, D.C.), the world's largest scientific society, has begun the publication of "ACS Chemical biology ACS Chemical Biology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published since 2006 by the American Chemical Society. The aim of ACS Chemical Biology is to disseminate significant original research at the interface between chemistry and biology. ," a new monthly journal designed to be a forum for biologists and chemists working together to understand cellular processes. It will be published monthly and an annual subscription costs $120 for individuals ($70 for the online edition) and $1950 for institutions. ACS said that it envisions the new title as a new model for the way biologists and chemists will look to collaborate with their peers in the future. It carries research findings, viewpoints, commentaries and news in the field. It provides a range of print and web tools "for our colleagues to stay current, informed and better equipped to do their own important research," Executive Editor Evelyn Jabri said. Content includes research and opinions on such topics as: collaboration; new antibiotics; in vitro in vitro /in vi·tro/ (in ve´tro) [L.] within a glass; observable in a test tube; in an artificial environment. in vi·tro adj. In an artificial environment outside a living organism. reconstitution; drug resistant antibiotic strains; intercellular intercellular /in·ter·cel·lu·lar/ (-sel´u-lar) between or among cells. in·ter·cel·lu·lar adj. Located among or between cells. metal detectors; linking genome structure and function; and, cholesterol. It also carries profiles of national chemical societies and the relationship between the field of chemical biology Chemical biology is a scientific discipline spanning the fields of chemistry and biology that involves the application of chemical techniques and tools, often compounds produced through synthetic chemistry, to the study and manipulation of biological systems. and governmental, private and non-profit organizations. The web site includes an "Ask the Expert" section that allows scientists to ask questions about fundamental issues, research directions, or techniques and methods. The "Chemical Biology Wiki" section allows for discussion of scientific topics as well as policy issues that affect funding, research and ongoing education. Also, beginning in January, the ACS's "Journal of Physical Chemistry" will be reorganized and will introduce "Journal of Physical Chemistry Part C" to focus on nanomaterials and interfaces. It will publish experimental and basic research targeted to scientists in physical chemistry of nanoparticles and nanostructures, surfaces, interfaces, catalysts, electron transport electron transport n. The successive passage of electrons from one cytochrome or flavoprotein to another by a series of oxidation-reduction reactions during the aerobic production of ATP, with the electrons originating from an oxidizable substrate and , optical and electronic devices, and energy conservations and storage. It will be published 51 times a year. |
