Aims & Scope

Biomolecular Concepts is a peer-reviewed open access journal fostering the integration of different fields of biomolecular research. Researchers from all countries are welcome to publish review articles, short conceptual overviews, and original research articles on topics in molecular and cell biology. The journal aims to provide expert summaries from prominent researchers, and conclusive extensions of research data leading to new and original, testable hypotheses. Aspects of research that can promote related fields, and lead to novel insight into biological mechanisms or potential medical applications are of special interest. Original research articles reporting new data of broad significance are also welcome. The journal publishes research results in the following fields: Cellular & Molecular Biology Genomics & Multi-Omics Integration Computational Biology, AI & Systems Modeling Epigenetics & Gene Regulation Structural & Chemical Biology Synthetic Biology & Genome Engineering Molecular Diagnostics & Precision M edicine Molecular Pharmacology & Targeted Therapeutics Molecular Immunology & Immunotherapy Molecular Neuroscience Regenerative Medicine & Stem Cells Microbiome & Microbial Omics Plant Molecular Biology & Agri-Biotechnology Environmental & Ecological Molecular Biology Bionanotechnology, Biosensors & Molecular Devices Phase transition and phase separation of biological macromolecules Protein and polysaccharide sol-to-gel transition, self-assembly & aggregation Smart materials Food analysis Food science and technology Functional food
