The Journal of
Molecular Biology publishes original scientific
research concerning studies of organisms or their
components at the molecular level. Published weekly,
the journal provides up-to-date and comprehensive
coverage of all aspects of molecular biology. Audience
for this journal includes molecular biologists,
biochemists, structural biochemists, geneticists,
virologists and cell biologists.
Research
Areas Include:
- Gene structure,
expression, replication, and recombination in both
eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms
- Structure,
function, chemistry, and in vivo modification and
processing of proteins, nucleic acids, and other
biologically important macromolecules
- Cellular and
developmental biology
- Genetics,
structure, and growth cycles of viruses and
bacteriophages
When Editor in Chief, Peter Wright
was asked why he thought JMB is so highly cited he replied, "JMB is so highly cited because of our rigorous standards of peer review and because each paper is edited by a scientist who is active in the field. This ensures that papers are both highly topical and meet high scientific standards, and therefore represent important additions to the scientific
literature".
