International Journal of Biological Macromolecules

Aims & Scope

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules is an established international journal of research into chemical and biological aspects of all natural macromolecules.It presents the latest findings of studies on the molecular structure and properties of proteins, macromolecular carbohydrates, glycoproteins, proteoglycans, lignins, biological poly-acids, and nucleic acids.

These findings must be new and novel rather than a repeat of earlier or analogous published work.

The scope includes biological activities and interactions, molecular associations, chemical and biological modifications, and functional properties.

Papers on related model systems, structural conformational studies, theoretical developments and new analytical techniques are also welcome.
