NATURE STRUCTURAL & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

自然结构与分子生物学是一个结构与分子研究的综合论坛。该杂志强调功能和机械的理解如何分子组成在一个生物过程中协同工作。结构性数据或许能提供这样的洞见，但它们不是发表在《华尔街日报》上的先决条件。感兴趣的具体领域包括但不限于:蛋白质、核酸等大分子的结构和功能多组分配合物的结构与功能DNA复制，修复和重组染色质结构和重塑转录RNA加工翻译转录和翻译的调节非编码rna的功能蛋白质折叠、加工和降解蛋白质和RNA的分类和运输信号转导和细胞内信号转导膜过程细胞表面蛋白和细胞间的相互作用疾病的分子基础

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 macromoleculesStructure and function of multi-component complexesDNA replication, repair and recombinationChromatin structure and remodelingTranscriptionRNA processingTranslationRegulation of transcription and translationFunctions of noncoding RNAsProtein folding, processing and degradationSorting and trafficking of proteins and RNASignal transduction and intracellular signalingMembrane processesCell surface proteins and cell-cell interactionsMolecular basis of disease
