Aims & Scope

A Journal of Biosciences: Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C ( ZNC ) is an international scientific journal and a community resource for the emerging field of natural and natural-like products. The journal publishes original research on the isolation (including structure elucidation), bio-chemical synthesis and bioactivities of natural products, their biochemistry, pharmacology, biotechnology, and their biological activity and innovative developed computational methods for predicting the structure and/or function of natural products. A Journal of Biosciences: Zeitschrift für Naturforschung C welcomes research papers in fields on the chemistry-biology boundary which address scientific ideas and approaches to generate and understand natural compounds on a molecular level and/or use them to stimulate and manipulate biological processes.
