Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports (BB Reports) publishes original research from all scientific fields in all aspects of biochemistry and biophysics and related areas, such as molecular and cell biology and environmental toxicology. BB Reports welcomes a broad range of studies, from detailed mechanistic to more preliminary, descriptive, confirmatory, and small-scale studies, as long as the studies are solid, add new data and knowledge, have the potential to contribute to future research, and confirm or refute an existing hypothesis. Primary criteria for acceptance are that the work is experimentally and methodologically correct and that it meets the ethics and standards of experimental science. We strongly believe all results deserve to be published and documented for the advancement of science. BB Reports appreciates receiving reports on • Negative results • Replication studies • Reanalysis of previous datasets BB Reports does accept methodological studies, but does not accept purely theoretical, hypothesis-generating studies without any experimental support and will not consider clinical/(genetic) epidemiological association studies.

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta: Gene Regulatory Mechanisms

ISSN: 1874-9399
5 Year impact factor: 4.3
Impact factor: 4.7

BBA Gene Regulatory Mechanisms includes reports that describe novel insights into mechanisms of transcriptional, post-transcriptional and translational gene regulation. Special emphasis is placed on papers that identify epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation, including chromatin, modification, and remodeling. This section also encompasses mechanistic studies of regulatory proteins and protein complexes; regulatory or mechanistic aspects of RNA processing; regulation of expression by small RNAs; genomic analysis of gene expression patterns; and modeling of gene regulatory pathways. Papers describing gene promoters, enhancers, silencers or other regulatory DNA regions must incorporate significant functions studies. The journal does not favorably review manuscripts identifying a miRNA-target pair without additional insights into the repression mechanism or significant advances in understanding regulatory pathways. In addition, the following elements should be an integral part of the study: •In silico prediction of miRNA targets must be experimentally verified using appropriate luciferase constructs and assays; •To exclude non-functional miRNA/mRNA interactions a reporter system including the whole 3'UTR of the target gene downstream the "luciferase" or GFP should be considered; •Any miRNA modulation should be validated by measuring the expression of the putative protein Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission.

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta: General Subjects

ISSN: 0304-4165
5 Year impact factor: 3.4
Impact factor: 3

One of the 10 topical journals of BBA BBA General Subjects accepts for submission either original, hypothesis-driven studies or reviews covering subjects in biochemistry and biophysics that have general scientific interest for a wide audience. Interdisciplinary studies are encouraged. Descriptive studies without biochemical or biophysical mechanistic evidence and insights are discouraged. Preferred topics are: biomedicine: fundamental and emerging topics in biochemistry/biophysics with potential medical implications nanobiology/nanotechnology: nanoparticles, nanotoxicology, nanomedicine omics: genomics, proteomics, lipidomics, glycomics, bioinformatics experimentally addressing a defined biological question chemical biology: chemical compounds, drug mechanisms, synthesis of novel compounds, click chemistry structural biology: crystallography, NMR, multimeric proteins, protein dynamics, nucleic acids novel complexes: nucleic acids, pure natural compounds, synthetic compounds, protein complexes, nucleic acid derivatives cellular signaling: receptor signaling, protein phosphorylation cascades, phosphatases, secondary messengers, transcription regulation, gene expression glycobiology: sugar metabolites and metabolism, glycosylated proteins, membrane protein, glycosylation, glycomics redox biology: redox switches, glutathione and thioredoxin systems, oxygen and nitrogen radical species, superoxide, hydrogen peroxide, hydroxyl radical, nitric oxide, peroxides, hypoxia, redox regulation of transcription factors neurobiology: neuronal growth factors and nerve signaling, glial cells, autonomic and central nervous systems stem cells: differentiation, stem cell isolation and cultivation, growth factors imaging methodologies mechanistic characterization of compounds having biochemical importance and general interest (drug leads, toxicants, nutrients, metabolites). BBA General Subjects does not consider studies on the biological effects of crude extracts of natural sources unless the exact active molecules are identified, singularly characterized and evaluated.

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta: Molecular Basis of Disease

ISSN: 0925-4439
5 Year impact factor: 6.2
Impact factor: 6.2

BBA Molecular Basis of Disease addresses the biochemistry and molecular genetics of disease processes and models of human disease. This journal covers aspects of aging, cancer, metabolic-, neurological-, and immunological-based disease. Manuscripts focused on using animal models to elucidate biochemical and mechanistic insight in each of these conditions, are particularly encouraged. Manuscripts should emphasize the underlying mechanisms of disease pathways and provide novel contributions to the understanding and/or treatment of these disorders. Highly descriptive and method development submissions may be declined without full review. Given the complex regulation of gene expression by a vast network of miRNA's, manuscripts describing the regulation of (disease-associated) genes by single miRNAs will only be considered if they provide genuine, novel insight in a disease mechanism. Further, studies restricted to a single cell line will not be considered unless they present truly novel insights. Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission.

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta: Molecular Cell Research

ISSN: 0167-4889
5 Year impact factor: 5.3
Impact factor: 5.1

BBA Molecular Cell Research focuses on understanding the mechanisms of cellular processes at the molecular level. These include aspects of cellular signaling, signal transduction, cell cycle, apoptosis, intracellular trafficking, secretory and endocytic pathways, biogenesis of cell organelles, cytoskeletal structures, cellular interactions, cell/tissue differentiation and cellular enzymology. Also included are studies at the interface between Cell Biology and Biophysics which apply, for example, novel imaging methods for characterizing cellular processes. Please note: We usually do not consider descriptive manuscripts dealing with the identification of transcripts regulated by single miRNAs or lncRNAs, unless substantial new mechanistic insight into their (patho)physiological activity is provided. Descriptive evaluation of natural compounds as potential drug candidates are generally not within the purview of BBA-MCR, unless novel targets or molecular mechanisms for these compounds are identified.

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta: Proteins and Proteomics

ISSN: 1570-9639
5 Year impact factor: 2.9
Impact factor: 3.2

BBA Proteins and Proteomics covers protein structure conformation and dynamics; protein folding; protein-ligand interactions; enzyme mechanisms, models and kinetics; protein physical properties and spectroscopy; and proteomics and bioinformatics analyses of protein structure, protein function, or protein regulation. The journal no longer considers manuscripts dealing with binding of compounds such as drugs or drug analogues to circulatory proteins such as serum albumin. These studies are better accommodated in journals dealing with drug design and development. Manuscripts must advance our insights into the molecular and mechanistic properties of proteins. Computational studies must generally be validated or complemented by experimental studies. Studies only consisting of computational work will not be considered unless they provide new theoretical insight that allows us to better understand or reinterpret surprising or unexpected experimental data. Comparative proteomics studies are generally not considered for review unless they provide specific insights into the structural and/or functional properties of individual proteins. Proteomics studies must also address properties of individual proteins and should as far as possible be validated by direct investigations of relevant identified proteins. Concise and comprehensive reviews of recent developments are considered for publication. However, authors are strongly advised to consult one of the Executive Editors before starting a review.
