01About This Special Issue
Chemical Biology is a research field that aims at the synthesis of biologically active molecules and the analysis of their induced phenotypes. Chemical Biology is providing new tools for deciphering protein modification and activity. Designing small molecules as probes of protein and cellular function are becoming the method of choice for careful profiling and development of biological processes in areas such as drug discovery, neurochemistry and molecular genetics. Chemical Biology studies also include aging, microfluidics, neurodegenerative diseases, human immunodeficiency virus and drug development. Chemical biology new technologies may accelerate the discovery of still elusive cures to neurodegenerative diseases. This issue is intended for more research and discussion on chemical biology and its application and benefits to human health.02Meet the Guest Editors
