 Chemical biology is that the study of the chemicals and chemical reactions involved in biological processes, incorporating the disciplines of bioorganic chemistry, biochemistry, cell biology and pharmacology. Chemicals – including natural small molecules, such as lipids, carbohydrates and metals, or non-natural probe or drug molecules – are used to gain insight into biological problems at a mechanistic level. Chemical biology is a relatively new field. It only emerged about 20 years ago when chemists took an interest in applying chemistry to studying biological systems. Initially, chemical biology was how of creating new small molecules that have biological effects and understanding how biological systems make small molecules, but the discipline has grown remarkably over a short period of time, attracting attention as a pursuit for better understanding and more efficiently utilizing biology and as a way of finding better drug targets and treatment options also as better biomarkers and diagnostic strategies.But for many, the thought of chemical biology remains a touch foggy, and i am often asked to define chemical biology and explain how I think about it. When that happens, I take a deep breath and first explain that a lot of scientific disciplines escape clear definitions because they're interdisciplinary, and this is often undoubtly true for chemical biology. However, labels are useful—for getting grants, for getting published, for getting the science noticed, for getting the right students, postdocs and faculty recruited.
