About Metallomics: Integrated biometal science

Scope 

Metallomics is a subject that is receiving great attention as a new frontier in the investigation of trace elements in biology and is expected to develop as an interdisciplinary science complementary to genomics and proteomics. This timely new journal covers the research fields related to biometals and is expected to be the core publication for the emerging metallomics community as they strive to fully understand the role of metals in biological, environmental, and clinical systems. 

Topics include: 

• Structural analysis of metallomes including the survey and identification of metalloproteins/enzymes 
• Chemical speciation of bio-trace elements in the environment and biological systems (both plant and animal) 
• Bioimaging and biosensing of metals, including analysis of diagnostic and therapeutic radiometals
• Chemistry of metallomes and metallome models: their structures, functions and mechanisms 
• Biological regulation of metals and their metabolisms 
• Chemotherapy, metallodrugs in clinical use 
• Medical diagnosis of health and disease in relation to trace elements 
• Certified reference materials for biological and environmental analysis 
• Chemical evolution of life      

Readership 

The journal will appeal to chemical scientists, bio-scientists and environmental scientists from across academia, industry and government. 

Article Types 

The journal will publish a full mix of primary articles, communications and reviews.
