A Wiki is a website that allows users to add and edit content and is effective for collaborative authoring. This forum will allow the community to design tools, discuss topics, and define terms of broad interest to the chemical biology community. Principal tenets of Wiki are to avoid bias, respect other contributors, and abide by copyright regulations. Users found in violation of these policies may be banned from posting to the Wiki. Content deemed offensive to the community will be replaced. Posting of content on this site does not imply endorsement by the ACS nor does it reflect the views of ACS.

ChemBioGlossary
The ChemBioGlossary is a repository for key terms used by chemical biologists. All of these terms are featured in Reviews in the journal and authors have supplied initial definitions for them. We work in a multidisciplinary field, where one term can mean many things. Add to these definitions to help develop a robust chemical biology dictionary.
