Aims & Scope

The Indian Journal of Biochemistry and Biophysics (IJBB), started in 1964, is a broad-based open access monthly peer-reviewed periodical publishing original research articles in the following areas: structure-function relationships of biomolecules; biomolecular recognition, protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions; gene-cloning, genetic engineering, genome analysis, gene targeting, gene expression, vectors, gene therapy; drug targeting, drug design; molecular basis of genetic diseases; conformational studies, computer simulation, novel DNA structures and their biological implications, protein folding; enzymes structure, catalytic mechanisms, regulation; membrane biochemistry, transport, ion channels, signal transduction, cell-cell communication, glycobiology; receptors, antigen-antibody binding, neurochemistry, ageing, apoptosis, cell cycle control; hormones, growth factors; oncogenes, host-virus interactions, viral assembly and structure; intermediary metabolism, molecular basis of disease processes, vitamins, coenzymes, carrier proteins, toxicology; plant and microbial biochemistry; surface forces, micelles and microemulsions, colloids, electrical phenomena, etc. in biological systems. Solicited peer-reviewed articles on contemporary themes and methods in Biochemistry and Biophysics form an important feature of IJBB. IJBB with the expanded scope of ‘Biotechnology’ but with a changed frequency of ‘monthly’ from the existing ‘bimonthly’ w.e.f. January 2022.
