Aims and scope

Molecular Diversity publishes full-length research papers and both full-length and short reviews. Coverage addresses the generation of molecular diversity, application of diversity for screening against alternative targets of all types, analysis of results and their application in various scientific disciplines. Topics include combinatorial chemistry and parallel synthesis; small molecule libraries; microwave synthesis; flow synthesis; fluorous synthesis; diversity oriented synthesis (DOS); nanoreactors; click chemistry; multiplex technologies; fragment- and ligand-based design; structure/function/SAR; computational chemistry and molecular design with applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML); chemoinformatics; screening techniques and screening interfaces; analytical and purification methods; robotics; automation and miniaturization;  targeted libraries; display libraries; peptides and peptoids; proteins; oligonucleotides; carbohydrates; natural diversity; new methods of library formulation and deconvolution; directed evolution; origin of life and recombination, search techniques; landscapes; random chemistry and more.

The journal focuses on exploring the structure-function relationship of diverse molecular structures at the interface of chemistry, biology, and informatics, covering pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic aspects. In addition, the journal has broadened its scope to cover the structure-function relationship in the context of environmental health effects of chemical exposome. However, the following topics are excluded from the scope: 

    Chemical analysis and analytical method development
     Materials science research
     Pharmacological studies and Computational biology work without a significant chemistry component
     Research on plant extracts, and/or herbal/polyherbal formulations as components of traditional medicine
     Natural products isolation and structural determination
