  • Early Earth’s oxygenation

    This Collection presents articles that enhance our understanding of the two primary oxygenation events that occurred on the Early Earth, as well as the weaker events that preceded and followed them. The articles in this Collection show the connection between the oxygenation events and the changes happening in the solid Earth, its atmosphere, oceans, and all biogeochemical cycles within these systems.

                • Fragments in Drug Discovery

                  In this collection, we want to highlight research that focuses on fragments in drug discovery. Have you found validated fragment hits for a new disease target? Maybe they unlocked an unreported enzyme mechanism? Were you able to develop a method that is useful for fragment-based drug discovery? Perhaps you found a hit that made it to clinical trials? We invite all scientists who work with fragments in the context of drug discovery to submit their interesting fragment stories. We look forward to hearing all about them.
