ACS Infectious Diseases [2015 Magazine Collection, PDF, ENG] Updated 05/11/2015

ACS Infectious Diseases will be the first journal to highlight chemistry and its role in this multidisciplinary and collaborative research area. Journal will cover The a diverse array of topics including, but not limited to:





Discovery and development of new antimicrobial agents - identified through target- or phenotypic-based approaches as well as compounds that induce synergy with antimicrobials.

Characterization and validation of drug target or pathways - use of single target and genome-wide knockdown and knockouts, biochemical studies, structural biology, new technologies to facilitate characterization and prioritization of potential drug targets.

Mechanism of drug resistance - fundamental research that advances our understanding of resistance; to prevent resistance strategies.

Mechanisms of action - use of genetic, metabolomic, and activity- and affinity-based protein profiling to elucidate the mechanism of action of clinical and experimental antimicrobial agents.

Host-pathogen interactions - tools for studying host-pathogen interactions, biochemistry of hosts cellular and pathogens, and molecular interactions of pathogens with host microbiota.

Small molecule vaccine adjuvants for infectious disease.

Viral and bacterial biochemistry and molecular biology.
