Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Molecular Recognition publishes research on molecular recognition phenomena in life sciences, encompassing biochemistry, molecular biology, and medicine. It focuses on specific, non-covalent interactions between biological molecules, such as receptor-ligand and antigen-antibody binding, aiming to describe recognition sites in terms of structure, dynamics, and activity. The journal also supports the development of new drugs and vaccines.
