Acta Crystallographica Section D-Structural Biology

晶体学报D部分欢迎提交涵盖结构生物学任何方面的文章，特别强调生物大分子的结构或用于测定它们的方法。关于生物重要性的新结构的报告可能会把最小的大分子提到最大的复杂分子机器上。这些结构可使用任何结构生物学技术（包括结晶学、核磁共振、低温和/或其他技术）来确定。关键标准是，这些文章必须对生物、化学或医学科学提出重要的新见解。鼓励纳入支持结构研究得出结论的补充数据（如结合研究、质谱分析、酶分析或突变物或其他生物大分子修饰形式的分析）。方法文章可能包括生物结构测定或结构分析的任何方面的新方法，但只有当它们侧重于证明对结构生物学具有普遍适用性和重要性的新方法时才会被接受。如果分析能为其他面临类似问题的人提供有用的见解，那么描述结构生物学中特别困难的问题的文章也受到欢迎。

Acta Crystallographica Section D welcomes the submission of articles covering any aspect of structural biology, with a particular emphasis on the structures of biological macromolecules or the methods used to determine them.Reports on new structures of biological importance may address the smallest macromolecules to the largest complex molecular machines. These structures may have been determined using any structural biology technique including crystallography, NMR, cryoEM and/or other techniques. The key criterion is that such articles must present significant new insights into biological, chemical or medical sciences. The inclusion of complementary data that support the conclusions drawn from the structural studies (such as binding studies, mass spectrometry, enzyme assays, or analysis of mutants or other modified forms of biological macromolecule) is encouraged.Methods articles may include new approaches to any aspect of biological structure determination or structure analysis but will only be accepted where they focus on new methods that are demonstrated to be of general applicability and importance to structural biology. Articles describing particularly difficult problems in structural biology are also welcomed, if the analysis would provide useful insights to others facing similar problems.
