Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

Aims & Scope

This international journal publishes original contributions and mini-reviews in the fields of insect biochemistry and insect molecular biology.

Main areas of interest are neurochemistry, hormone and pheromone biochemistry, enzymes and metabolism, hormone action and gene regulation, gene characterization and structure, pharmacology, immunology and cell and tissue culture.

Papers on the biochemistry and molecular biology of other groups of arthropods are published if of general interest to the readership.

Technique papers will be considered for publication if they significantly advance the field of insect biochemistry and molecular biology in the opinion of the Editors and Editorial Board.
