Molecular Biology

The “Molecular Biology” section of the open access journal Biomolecules (ISSN 2218-273X) publishes both high-quality review articles and outstanding and well-founded original contributions. Fields of interest encompass, but are not limited to, the following areas: the structure and function of biomolecules, molecular mechanobiology, macromolecular structures, inheritance, cellular processes comprising metabolism, signal transduction, and control of the cell cycle,  biomolecular synthesis of proteins and protein folding, post-translational modification of proteins and macromolecular assemblies, molecular self-assembly processes, molecular motors and forces, experimental and theoretical protein structure analysis approaches, and organelle and membrane transport, and exo- and endosomal trafficking. Molecular biology techniques such as molecular cloning and gene therapy, in addition to methodologically oriented contributions addressing spectroscopy, electrophysiology, computer-assisted or imaging procedures, and other biophysical approaches, are also encouraged. Contributions addressing molecular biology and the biophysical aspects of cancer or other diseases are also welcome.
