Scope
Protein Chemistry and Enzymology is a specialty section of Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences.
Proteins and enzymes are essential to all aspects of cellular function. Our understanding of these complex molecules has important, wide-ranging applications in medicine, biotechnology and biomaterials. The Editors interpret the field of Protein Chemistry and Enzymology broadly and are dedicated to making Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences the leading online, open access forum for the publication of original scientific studies, review articles and, equally importantly, commentary and discussion in this field. We aim to publish studies on all aspects of protein and enzyme biochemistry, with the caveat that we seek papers that offer a chemical/molecular perspective, rather than purely phenomenological studies. We recognize that new concepts, ideas and interpretations of existing findings are vital to advance science and as such we particularly welcome Perspective, Commentary, Hypothesis and Opinion articles in this field.
The scope of this section encompasses both experimental and theoretical studies that report on all aspects of the structure and function of proteins and enzymes. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to:
- the discovery of new enzyme activities and protein functions;
- enzyme mechanism, kinetics and inhibition;
- protein and enzyme design and (re)-engineering;
- chemical methodologies for protein synthesis and protein modification;
- molecular mechanisms for regulating biological activity;
- post-translational modifications of proteins and enzymes;
- pertinent model systems and computational studies;
- novel applications of analytical methods to study proteins and enzymes.
Protein Chemistry and Enzymology welcomes submissions of the following tier 1 articles: Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis & Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Review, and Technology Report.
Indexed in: PubMed, PubMed Central, Scopus, Google Scholar, DOAJ, CrossRef, CLOCKSS
PMCID: all published articles receive a PMCID
Protein Chemistry and Enzymology welcomes submissions of the following article types: Book Review, Brief Research Report, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Protocols, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge and Technology Report.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Protein Chemistry and Enzymology, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Protein Chemistry and Enzymology will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Molecular Biosciences.
