Abstract

Bioinorganic chemistry is a multidisciplinary field that bridges the apparent divide between inorganic chemistry and biology. The very name "bioinorganic" is an intriguing oxymoron, as "inorganic" chemistry traditionally refers to the study of the inanimate world, while the "bio" prefix refers to living systems. Bioinorganic chemistry focuses on metallic systems within biological environments, with the dual aims of better understanding these natural systems and leveraging the solutions developed through evolution to design new industrial or therapeutic applications. As a close cousin of the field of metallomics, bioinorganic chemistry shares the fundamental principles that underpin metallomics' systemic analyses of metal-containing biomolecules. In this article, we trace the historical development of bioinorganic chemistry, highlighting its recent advancements and outlining future research challenges in this dynamic interdisciplinary area.

生物无机化学:从何而来,向何而去?
生物无机化学是一个多学科领域,它弥合了无机化学和生物学之间明显的鸿沟。“生物无机”这个名字本身就是一个有趣的矛盾修饰法,因为“无机”化学传统上指的是对无生命世界的研究,而“生物”前缀指的是生命系统。生物无机化学专注于生物环境中的金属系统,具有更好地理解这些自然系统和利用通过进化开发的解决方案来设计新的工业或治疗应用的双重目标。作为金属学领域的近亲,生物无机化学分享了支撑金属学对含金属生物分子的系统分析的基本原理。在这篇文章中,我们追溯了生物无机化学的历史发展,重点介绍了它的最新进展,并概述了未来在这个充满活力的跨学科领域的研究挑战。

期刊介绍: Biological inorganic chemistry is a growing field of science that embraces the principles of biology and inorganic chemistry and impacts other fields ranging from medicine to the environment. JBIC (Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry) seeks to promote this field internationally. The Journal is primarily concerned with advances in understanding the role of metal ions within a biological matrix—be it a protein, DNA/RNA, or a cell, as well as appropriate model studies. Manuscripts describing high-quality original research on the above topics in English are invited for submission to this Journal. The Journal publishes original articles, minireviews, and commentaries on debated issues.
