PLOS is a non-profit organization on a mission to drive open science forward with measurable, meaningful change in research publishing, policy, and practice.

Building on a strong legacy of pioneering innovation, PLOS continues to be a catalyst, reimagining models to meet open science principles, removing barriers and promoting inclusion in knowledge creation and sharing, and publishing research outputs that enable everyone to learn from, reuse and build upon scientific knowledge.

We believe in a better future where science is open to all, for all.

Editor’s Picks: Chemical Tools & Probes

Curated Collections

Small molecules that allow us to observe and manipulate biological systems by targeting and binding to specific targets are powerful tools in the field of Chemical Biology. These probes can inhibit a protein’s function, interact with nucleic acids, disrupt cellular processes and pathways, as well as allow researchers to study how a biological target functions within a given system.

In this Curated Collection, PLOS ONE presents some of the latest research on the development and uses of chemical probes, including in vivo and in vitro imaging, drug discovery, protein functions and cellular processes.
