Welcome to the 10th anniversary issue of Molecular BioSystems

---

Abstract

---

Molecular BioSystems (MBS) was launched in 2005 as a broad scope journal for researchers working at the chemistry–biology interface. Back then this was a small but rapidly developing area of science, and MBS was one of a small number of journals launched to cater for this burgeoning field. Key focuses for MBS were and remain chemical biology, -omics sciences and systems biology.

After 10 years of publication, MBS has developed into one of the leading journals in the field, with the number of authors choosing to publish their research in MBS growing each year. The journal's core values remain the same: high impact research, good author service and rigorous, fair and timely peer review.

This issue celebrates the first 10 years of publication of MBS, with contributions from past and present Board members, contributors from previous themed issues, and some of the other leading researchers in the field.

I would like to thank all the authors who have contributed to this issue and I hope that you enjoy reading it.
