Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is an integrated forum for structural and molecular studies. The journal places a strong emphasis on functional and mechanistic understanding of how molecular components in a biological process work together. Structural data may provide such insights, but they are not a pre-requisite for publication in the journal.Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:* Structure and function of proteins, nucleic acids and other macromolecules* Structure and function of multi-component complexes* DNA replication, repair and recombination* Chromatin structure and remodeling* Transcription* RNA processing* Translation* Regulation of transcription and translation* Functions of noncoding RNAs* Protein folding, processing and degradation* Sorting and trafficking of proteins and RNA* Signal transduction and intracellular signaling* Membrane processes* Cell surface proteins and cell-cell interactions* Molecular basis of disease.

Physical Biology publishes articles in the interdisciplinary field bridging biology and the physical sciences. This journal focuses on research in which physics-based approaches lead to new insights into biological systems at all scales of space and time, and all levels of complexity. Articles describing the generation or explanation of experimental data are strongly encouraged. Physical Biology accepts contributions from a wide range of biological sub-fields and covers topics such as: intracellular processes, e.g. cytoskeleton dynamics, cellular transport, cell division signalling, gene regulation and metabolic networks developmental processes physical aspects of disease, e.g. cancer progression, viruses, amyloid formation neuronal dynamics population dynamics, ecology, and evolution biomolecular structure and interactions, e.g. protein folding, DNA packaging cells and their microenvironment, e.g. cell mechanics, chemotaxis, extracellular matrix, biofilms novel physical techniques to probe biological systems systems and synthetic biology

Protein & Peptide Letters publishes letters, original research papers, mini-reviews and guest edited issues in all important aspects of protein and peptide research, including structural studies, advances in recombinant expression, function, synthesis, enzymology, immunology, molecular modeling, and drug design. Manuscripts must have a significant element of novelty, timeliness and urgency that merit rapid publication. Reports of crystallization and preliminary structure determination of biologically important proteins are considered only if they include significant new approaches or deal with proteins of immediate importance, and preliminary structure determinations of biologically important proteins. Purely theoretical/review papers should provide new insight into the principles of protein/peptide structure and function. Manuscripts describing computational work should include some experimental data to provide confirmation of the results of calculations

PROTEINS : Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics publishes original reports of significant experimental and analytic research in all areas of protein research: structure, function, computation, genetics, and design. The journal encourages reports that present new experimental or computational approaches for interpreting and understanding data from biophysical chemistry, structural studies of proteins and macromolecular assemblies, alterations of protein structure and function engineered through techniques of molecular biology and genetics, functional analyses under physiologic conditions, as well as the interactions of proteins with receptors, nucleic acids, or other specific ligands or substrates. Research in protein and peptide biochemistry directed toward synthesizing or characterizing molecules that simulate aspects of the activity of proteins, or that act as inhibitors of protein function, is also within the scope of PROTEINS. In addition to full-length reports, short communications (usually not more than 4 printed pages) and prediction reports are welcome. Reviews are typically by invitation; authors are encouraged to submit proposed topics for consideration. Proteins is bringing web-based technology to bear to speed and simplify the entire publication process. Proteins now offers online submission and peer review and encourages electronic submission of manuscripts, which expedites the review process. In addition, individual articles are published online as rapidly as possible after acceptance. Please see the Author Instructions for details. Proteins is pleased to announce that online access to the full-text content of all Structure Notes is freely available to all nonsubscribing users , commencing 2003. Structure Notes, first launched in 1999, are one-to-two-page articles describing a novel protein structure of unknown function and/or those with recurring topology. Structure Notes are published within three months of receipt at the Proteins office by expediting all stages of editorial review and production. Please see the Author Instructions for details.

Proteomes (ISSN 2227-7382) is an open access, peer reviewed journal on all aspects of proteome science. Proteomes covers the multi-disciplinary topics of structural and functional biology, protein chemistry, cell biology, methodology used for protein analysis, including mass spectrometry, protein arrays, bioinformatics, HTS assays, etc. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of papers.

RSC Chemical Biology is a gold open access journal dedicated to publishing and disseminating exceptional, breakthrough research and high-quality reviews at the interface of chemistry and biology.

Structure aims to publish papers of exceptional interest in the field of structural biology. The journal strives to be essential reading for structural biologists, as well as biologists and biochemists that are interested in macromolecular structure and function. Structure strongly encourages the submission of manuscripts that present structural and molecular insights into biological function and mechanism. Other reports that address fundamental questions in structural biology, such as structure-based examinations of protein evolution, folding and/or design, will also be considered favorably. We will consider the application of any method, experimental or computational, at high or low resolution, to conduct structural investigations, as long as the method is appropriate for the biological, functional, and mechanistic question(s) being addressed. Likewise, reports describing single molecule analysis of biological mechanisms are welcome. In general, the editors encourage submission of structural studies that are validated by additional experimental systems that address structure-activity relationships, and will not consider studies that solely report structural information unless the structure under investigation is of exceptional and broad interest.Visit the Structure website to find out more - http://www.structure.org

Traffic encourages and facilitates the publication of papers covering the cell biology of intracellular transport in health and disease. Areas of interest include protein, nucleic acid and lipid traffic, molecular motors, intracellular pathogens, intracellular proteolysis, nuclear import and export, cytokinesis and the cell cycle, protein translocation, antigen processing and presentation, organelle biogenesis, cell polarity and organization, and organelle movement.All aspects of the structural, molecular biology, biochemistry, genetics, morphology, intracellular signaling and relationship to hereditary or infectious diseases will be covered. Manuscripts must provide a clear conceptual or mechanistic advance. The editors will reject papers that require major changes, including addition of significant experimental data or other significant revision.Traffic will consider manuscripts of any length, but encourages authors to limit their papers to 16 typeset pages or less.
