The biological consequences of specific molecular interactions have long been a part of scientific (and non-scientific) activities throughout human history. The last century witnessed a myriad of discoveries in the life sciences at molecular detail, and the associated growth of the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. This century has seen a further growth in the field with a resultant increase in publications and journals.   


"The interface with biology is a fertile pursuit for chemists"
- Dr David Spring, Cambridge University, UK
This theme issue covers topical areas at the chemistry-biology interface from a chemical perspective, and includes one critical review and 13 tutorial reviews. We hope this will be a useful introduction to the area and provide inspiration and encouragement for further reading and involvement.
