Acta Crystallographica Section D-structural Biology

Journal Title：Acta Crystallographica Section D-structural Biology

Acta Crystallographica Section D welcomes the submission of articles covering any aspect of structural biology, with a particular emphasis on the structures of biological macromolecules or the methods used to determine them.

Reports on new structures of biological importance may address the smallest macromolecules to the largest complex molecular machines. These structures may have been determined using any structural biology technique including crystallography, NMR, cryoEM and/or other techniques. The key criterion is that such articles must present significant new insights into biological, chemical or medical sciences. The inclusion of complementary data that support the conclusions drawn from the structural studies (such as binding studies, mass spectrometry, enzyme assays, or analysis of mutants or other modified forms of biological macromolecule) is encouraged.

Methods articles may include new approaches to any aspect of biological structure determination or structure analysis but will only be accepted where they focus on new methods that are demonstrated to be of general applicability and importance to structural biology. Articles describing particularly difficult problems in structural biology are also welcomed, if the analysis would provide useful insights to others facing similar problems.

Acta Crystallographica Section D 欢迎提交涵盖结构生物学任何方面的文章，特别强调生物大分子的结构或用于确定它们的方法。

关于具有重要生物学意义的新结构的报告可能会从最小的大分子到最大的复杂分子机器。这些结构可以使用任何结构生物学技术确定，包括晶体学、NMR、cryoEM和/或其他技术。关键标准是此类文章必须对生物、化学或医学科学提出重要的新见解。鼓励包含支持结构研究（例如结合研究、质谱、酶测定或突变体或其他修饰形式的生物大分子的分析）得出的结论的补充数据。

方法文章可能包含生物结构确定或结构分析的任何方面的新方法，但只有在关注被证明对结构生物学具有普遍适用性和重要性的新方法时才会被接受。如果分析能为面临类似问题的其他人提供有用的见解，也欢迎描述结构生物学中特别困难的问题的文章。

Acta Crystallographica Section D-structural Biology创刊于1993年，由INT UNION CRYSTALLOGRAPHY出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖BIOCHEMISTRY & MOLECULAR BIOLOGY - BIOCHEMICAL RESEARCH METHODSBIOCHEMISTRY &全领域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所属细分领域中专业影响力一般，过审相对较易，如果您文章质量佳，选择此期刊，发表机率较高。平均审稿速度约3月，影响因子指数5.266，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
