Aims & Scope

Cell Biochemistry and Biophysics delves into the biochemical and biophysical mechanisms that control cellular physiological homeostasis. Emphasizes the relationship between molecular structure and specific property/function. Presents original information on the properties, structure, function, behavior, and interactions of cells and their molecular/macromolecular constituents. Coverage includes genetic and biomolecular engineering; computer-based analysis of tissues, cells, cell networks, organelles, and molecular/macromolecular assemblies. Known for innovative developments in analytical cytology and cytometry.
