CRITICAL REVIEWS IN BIOCHEMISTRY AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

近四分之一世纪，随着生物化学和分子生物学学科的飞速发展，对普通医学、遗传学、免疫学、发育生物学和生物物理学的发展作出了重大贡献。广泛学科的研究人员越来越需要了解当前生物化学和分子生物学进展的重要性，而生物化学和分子生物学界的成员本身则寻求与各自专业无关的领域进展的简明信息。生物化学和分子生物学的评论认为，写得好的评论文章是整合和有意义地理解大量的，经常是矛盾的文献的有效手段。综述文章还通过综合已知事实、富有成果的假设和新概念，为创造性的学术提供了机会。因此，生物化学和分子生物学的评论发表了高质量的评论，这些评论组织、评估和介绍了生物化学和分子生物学领域的高影响、当前问题的现状。选题是根据杰出科学家咨询委员会的建议进行的，该委员会还建议具有特殊能力的作者。所选主题足够宽泛，能够吸引广大读者，但重点足够集中，能够在单个作者的能力范围内。作者的选择是基于他们在该领域的活动和他们证明的能力，以产生一个良好的书面出版物。

As the discipline of biochemistry and molecular biology have greatly advanced in the last quarter century, significant contributions have been made towards the advancement of general medicine, genetics, immunology, developmental biology, and biophysics. Investigators in a wide range of disciplines increasingly require an appreciation of the significance of current biochemical and molecular biology advances while, members of the biochemical and molecular biology community itself seek concise information on advances in areas remote from their own specialties.Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology believes that well-written review articles prove an effective device for the integration and meaningful comprehension of vast, often contradictory, literature. Review articles also provide an opportunity for creative scholarship by synthesizing known facts, fruitful hypotheses, and new concepts. Accordingly, Critical Reviews in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology publishes high-quality reviews that organize, evaluate, and present the current status of high-impact, current issues in the area of biochemistry and molecular biology.Topics are selected on the advice of an advisory board of outstanding scientists, who also suggest authors of special competence. The topics chosen are sufficiently broad to interest a wide audience of readers, yet focused enough to be within the competence of a single author. Authors are chosen based on their activity in the field and their proven ability to produce a well-written publication.
