No. 1 primary research journal in Biophysics

Aims and Scope:
In January 2004 Nature Structural Biology was relaunched as Nature Structural & Molecular Biology to reflect a growing integration of structural and molecular studies. The journal places a strong emphasis on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying biological processes.

Specific areas include (but are not limited to) DNA replication; repair and recombination; chromatin structure and remodeling; transcription; translation; the folding, processing, transport and degradation of proteins and RNA; signal transduction and membrane processes. Each issue also contains News & Views articles, Research Highlights and editorials that help place the primary research in a broader context.

Readership: Nature Structural & Molecular Biology appeals to the international molecular and structural biology, biochemical and biophysical science communities.

Online features and site license access:

• Online archive available back to January 1994, including all issues of Nature Structural Biology.
• A site license provides access to all content published during the supply period. Access is granted to a further rolling four-year archive during the supply period only. Archive content not included in the license agreement is available to purchase.
