Aims and Scope
Cell Chemical Biology is a Cell Press journal publishing research and review content of exceptional interest for the chemical biology community. Launched in 1994 under the title Chemistry & Biology, the journal was the first to recognize the growing importance of investigations done at the interface of chemistry and biology, and its mission has always been to support and promote chemical biology and conversation and collaboration between chemical and life sciences.
Cell Chemical Biology strongly encourages submission of articles that provide significant conceptual advancement of broad general interest to both chemists and biologists. We are especially interested in papers that combine the use of chemical tools to perturb, visualize, and measure biological systems and properties and offer unique insights into molecular mechanism or physiology. We also encourage submissions that are focused on method development for basic life sciences or that have practical impact of either clinical or biotechnological nature. Some additional types of research that we consider within our scope are studies of metabolism and physiology; enzyme mechanism and natural product biosynthesis; generation, distribution, and function of small molecule-protein conjugates such as post-translational modifications; mechanism of resistance to small molecules by viruses/bacteria/cancer cells/organisms; intra- and intercellular and intra- and interspecies communication mediated by small molecules; and chemical biology of lipids, sugars, and nucleic acids. Finally, large-scale studies enabled by the use of chemistry-based technology, such as proteomics, lipidomics, metabolomics, and glycomics, are also within our scope, as well as synthetic and systems biology work when inspired and supported by chemical tools or aimed at engineering biological systems to perform a new type of chemical transformation.

Verified Reviews
Cell Chemical Biology was renamed from the classic journal Chemistry&Biology in the Cell series. It suffered from the name change, and currently, it is temporarily listed in the second tier of the basic edition of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (without impact factor statistics in the first year). However, it will definitely become a top-tier journal in the future, and its impact factor is also increasing rapidly. After all, it is part of the Cell series. I hope to have the opportunity to be published there in the future.
After the tragic rejection from Cell and Molecular Cell, the editor suggested submitting to Cell Reports or Cell Chemical Biology. In the end, it was decided to submit to Cell Chemical Biology. The editing and reviewing process was fast, and the editor's comments were very professional. After two minor revisions, the paper was accepted directly.
