Nature Structural and Molecular Biology

Aims & Scope

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

Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
