Natural Product Reports

Aims & Scope

Natural Product Reports (NPR) is a critical review journal that stimulates progress in all areas of natural products research, including isolation, structural and stereochemical determination, biosynthesis, biological activity and synthesis.

The scope of the journal is very broad, and many reviews discuss the role of natural products in the wider bioinorganic, bioorganic and chemical biology communities.

Areas covered include the following: -Enzymology -Nucleic acids -Genetics -Chemical ecology -Carbohydrates -Primary and secondary metabolism -Analytical techniques NPR articles are designed to give an interesting insight into the topic, focussing on the key developments that have shaped a field rather than giving a very comprehensive overview of all results.

Authors are encouraged to include their own perspective on developments, trends and future directions.
