Acta Crystallographica Section D-structural Biology

Journal Title：Acta Crystallographica Section D-structural Biology

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.

Acta Crystallographica 第 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确定它们的方法。

关于具有生物学重要性的新结构的报告可能涉及最小的大分子到最大的复杂分子机器。这些结构可能已经使用任何结构生物学技术确定，包括晶体学、NMR、cryoEM 和/或其他技术。关键标准是此类文章必须对生物、化学或医学科学提出重要的新见解。鼓励纳入支持从结构研究（例如结合研究、质谱、酶测定或突变体或其他修饰形式的生物大分子的分析）得出的结论的补充数据。

方法文章可以包括生物结构确定或结构分析任何方面的新方法，但只有当它们侧重于被证明具有普遍适用性和对结构生物学重要性的新方法时才会被接受。如果分析可以为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-structural Biology创刊于1993年，由John Wiley and Sons Inc.出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖BIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY - BIOCHEMICAL RESEARCH METHODSBIOCHEMISTRY &全领域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所属细分领域中专业影响力一般，过审相对较易，如果您文章质量佳，选择此期刊，发表机率较高。平均审稿速度 ，影响因子指数2.6，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
