Welcome to Chemistry Central
Chemistry Central is a new service publishing peer-reviewed open access research in chemistry, from BioMed Central - the leading biomedical open access publisher. This site features chemistry-related articles published in Chemistry Central Journal, BioMed Central journals and independent journals utilizing BioMed Central's open access publishing services. All original research articles published by, or in cooperation with, Chemistry Central are made freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication.

BMC Molecular Biology 2008, 9:68
Optical mapping, a single molecule approach for genome-wide DNA mapping, can now be used for the detection of DNA methylation profiles and will facilitate rapid advances in understanding the epigenetic regulation of eukaryotic genomes.

tmRNA rescues stalled ribosomes but lacks an anticodon and so probably uses a separate ligand to establish the reading frame on tmRNA, rather than the three nucleotides upstream of the first codon as previously thought.

BMC Biology 2008, 6:26
Plant aquaporins that act as bi-directional arsenite channels provide the first molecular clues to plant arsenite transport systems and pave the way for reducing the toxin content of crops like rice grown in arsenic-laden environments.

Now accepting submissions
 Chemistry Central has launched Chemistry Central Journal, a broad ranging open access chemistry journal divided into 55 subject specific sections. The Editors invite you to submit your next manuscript using the online submission system.
“I think open access journals are a great idea and am delighted to join you in this venture as a member of the Editorial Advisory Board”
Robert F. Curl (Nobel Prize in Chemistry, 1996), Kenneth S. Pitzer-Schlumberger Professor of Natural Sciences Emeritus, Rice University, Texas
Journals
Chemistry Central is planning to launch further chemistry-specific journals in the near future. Our journal management system incorporates online tools for manuscript submission, peer review and editorial decision making. We make this technology available without charge to suitably qualified groups of researchers that wish to operate their own open access online journals.
