Frontiers in Chemistry are proud to present this collection of Mini Reviews and Perspectives entitled “Advancements in Chemical Biology”. The Chemical Biology section focuses on publishing research at the interface of chemistry and biology, emphasizing the molecular-level understanding and manipulation of biological systems. It invites submissions covering engineered biological systems for novel chemical functions, molecular tools for synthetic and systems biology, enzyme mechanisms, natural product biosynthesis, small molecule-protein conjugates, chemical-based large-scale analyses (such as proteomics and metabolomics), and innovative probes for therapeutic target identification. The scope also includes studies on molecular mechanisms in biomolecules, protein/enzyme engineering, and advanced chemical techniques like click chemistry and molecular imaging within living systems. Multidisciplinary work is encouraged, especially research that advances the Sustainable Development Goals related to health, innovation, and responsible production. This Research Topic aims to spotlight recent developments in chemical biology, aiming to foster discussion and further inquiry within the community. It seeks to highlight both contemporary advancements and imaginative pathways for future research in the field. The overarching goal is to encourage dialogue, enhance understanding, and propel future studies in unexplored areas.
