Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

The Journal of Structural Biology focuses on the structural characterization of biological molecules and systems. Recent articles investigate the three-dimensional structure of complex biological samples using advanced imaging techniques like X-ray computed tomography and X-ray crystallography. Research also explores the structural basis of protein function, including enzyme activity, protein-protein interactions, and conformational changes.
