如何从化学学科的角度理解化学生物学的内涵

How to Understand the Connotation of Chemical Biology from the View of Chemistry Discipline

化学生物学作为一个新兴的交叉学科,已经引起了我国各个高校化学院系的密切关注。为了顺应这一新学科发展的需要,众多高校纷纷建立与化学生物学学科相关的实验室或研究组,并开始招收化学生物学专业的本科生和研究生。但是,有关化学生物学的基本知识结构仍然不清楚,化学、生物学和药学家对于化学生物学内容的理解均本着本学科相关的一些方面,侧重点各不相同。本文从化学学科的角度对目前化学生物学的研究内容、化学生物学学科的建立以及化学生物学的定义进行讨论。

As a newly emerged cross discipline, chemical biology has drawn much attention of the schools or departments of many universities in China. In order to meet the development of this new discipline, many universities have established the related laboratory or research group with the chemical biology discipline, and started to recruit the undergraduate or graduate students （master or doctor） of chemical biology speciality. But the contents of elementary knowledge about the chemical biology are still not very clear, and the emphasis points of the chemists, biologists and pharmacists about the contents of chemical biology are various from the view of different discipline. In this article, the contents, establishment of discipline and definition about chemical biology from chemistry discipline are discussed.
