Protein Journal

Aims & Scope

The Protein Journal (formerly the Journal of Protein Chemistry) publishes original research work on all aspects of proteins and peptides.

These include studies concerned with covalent or three-dimensional structure determination (X-ray, NMR, cryoEM, EPR/ESR, optical methods, etc.), computational aspects of protein structure and function, protein folding and misfolding, assembly, genetics, evolution, proteomics, molecular biology, protein engineering, protein nanotechnology, protein purification and analysis and peptide synthesis, as well as the elucidation and interpretation of the molecular bases of biological activities of proteins and peptides.

We accept original research papers, reviews, mini-reviews, hypotheses, opinion papers, and letters to the editor.
