he Journal of Combinatorial Chemistry has been relaunched as ACS Combinatorial Science under the leadership of new Editor-in-Chief M.G. Finn of The Scripps Research Institute. The journal features an expanded scope and will build upon the legacy of the Journal of Combinatorial Chemistry, a highly cited leader in the field.ACS Combinatorial Science publishes research describing the development and use of combinatorial, high-throughput, and related methods in chemistry, materials science, and biology. The journal welcomes submissions from a broad spectrum of scientific endeavor involving the discovery of functional molecules or systems using combinatorial techniques, molecular libraries, and evolving systems; and the development of tools for speeding and understanding such discoveries.Examples include molecular synthesis and screening, biological and bio-inspired development of molecular function, molecular systems exhibiting feedback and evolution, combinatorial synthesis and testing of polymers and materials, parallel operations and engineering, robotics and automation, and analytical and computational methods, among many others.ACS Combinatorial Science is dedicated to the proposition that combinatorial and evolutionary molecular science represents an emerging new discipline, while providing powerful tools for the further development of its contributing fields. Areas of interest include but are not limited to:Discovery and optimization of biologically active compoundsCombinatorial synthetic chemistryHigh throughput and novel assays and analytical techniquesCombinatorial and high throughput discovery and optimization of new materialsDirected evolution of proteins and nucleic acidsTools and techniques for molecular evolutionUse of evolving biological systems and organisms for molecular functionRobotics and microfluidic technologiesTheoretical and computational tools supporting combinatorial and high throughput research
