Impact factor: 5.1

Bioorganic Chemistry publishes research that addresses biological questions at the molecular level, using organic chemistry and principles of physical organic chemistry. The scope of the journal covers a range of topics at the organic chemistry-biology interface, including: enzyme catalysis, biotransformation and enzyme inhibition; nucleic acids chemistry; medicinal chemistry; natural product chemistry, natural product synthesis and natural product biosynthesis; antimicrobial agents; lipid and peptide chemistry; biophysical chemistry; biological probes; bio-orthogonal chemistry and biomimetic chemistry. For manuscripts dealing with synthetic bioactive compounds, the Journal requires that the molecular target of the compounds described must be known, and must be demonstrated experimentally in the manuscript. For studies involving natural products, if the molecular target is unknown, some data beyond simple cell-based toxicity studies to provide insight into the mechanism of action is required. Studies supported by molecular docking are welcome, but must be supported by experimental data. The Journal does not consider manuscripts that are purely theoretical or computational in nature. The Journal publishes regular articles, short communications and reviews. Reviews are normally invited by Editors or Editorial Board members. Authors of unsolicited reviews should first contact an Editor or Editorial Board member to determine whether the proposed article is within the scope of the Journal. Benefits to authors We also provide many author benefits, such as a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

ISSN: 0006-3495
5 Year impact factor: 3.5
Impact factor: 3.4

The mission of Biophysical Journal (BJ) is to publish the highest quality work that elucidates important biological, chemical, or physical mechanisms and provides quantitative insight into fundamental problems at the molecular, cellular, and systems and whole-organism levels. Articles published in the Journal should be of general interest to quantitative biologists, regardless of their research specialty. BJ publishes original articles, letters, and perspectives on important problems in modern biophysics. The papers should be written so as to be of interest to a broad community of biophysicists. BJ welcomes experimental studies that employ quantitative physical approaches for the study of biological systems, including or spanning scales from molecule to whole organism. Experimental studies of a purely descriptive or phenomenological nature, with no theoretical or mechanistic underpinning, are not appropriate for publication in BJ. Theoretical studies should offer new insights into the understanding ofexperimental results or suggest new experimentally testable hypotheses. Articles reporting significant methodological or technological advances, which have potential to open new areas of biophysical investigation, are also suitable for publication in BJ. Papers describing improvements in accuracy or speed of existing methods or extra detail within methods described previously are not suitable for BJ. Papers are handled by an Editorial Board of more than 100 scientists who solicit reviewers with the requisite expertise. The Editorial Board is divided among the following sections; these descriptions also serve to detail the scope of science published by BJ: Section I - Nucleic Acids and Genomic Biophysics. This section highlights biophysical aspects of genome organization and their relation to cellular functions such as transcription, translation, development, and gene-regulatory mechanisms. It includes studies using experimental and computational techniques to investigate the structure, dynamics, function, and regulation of DNA, RNA, and their complexes with other molecules. It also publishes research studies on chromatin structural states, folding and function, and the dynamic organization of the nucleus. Section II -Proteins. This section covers the biophysics of protein structure, function, and interactions. The emphasis is on molecular biophysics encompassing experimental, computational, and theoretical approaches. Section III - Channels and Transporters. This section covers mechanistic studies of the structure, function, and regulation of membrane transport proteins and signaling receptors. The emphasis is on studies that use experimental and/or computational methods. Section IV - Membranes. This section covers the analysis of the structure, organization, and function of artificial and biological membranes via state-of-the art experimental and theoretical biophysics approaches. Section V - Molecular Machines, Motors, and Nanoscale Biophysics. This section covers biophysical studies of molecular motors (cytoskeletal and non-cytoskeletal), cytoskeletal assemblies, and muscle contraction and studies that use single-molecule tracking, force spectroscopy, and other nanoscale techniques. Section VI - Cell Biophysics. This section covers work that furthers our understanding of molecular function and interactions within and between cells and elucidates how these mechanisms are regulated within the cellular milieu. Section VII - Systems Biophysics. This section covers the analysis of collective properties in systems of interacting components, including biomolecular networks, organelles, tissues, organs, and whole organisms. Special emphasis is placed on studies that link multiple levels of biological organization, from gene sequence to nonlinear and network-level phenomena, such as pattern formation, metabolism, and signal transduction. Section VIII - Biophysical Perspectives. Visit the Cell Press website for more information about Biophysical Journal - http://www.cell.com/biophysj/home

Biophysical Reports

ISSN: 2667-0747

Biophysical Reports is a gold open access journal that publishes short papers and regular articles in all disciplines encompassed by biophysics, with a particular emphasis on methods and techniques (biological, chemical, or physical) for biophysical research, as well as concepts and ideas that present major conceptual advances or represent new views on existing data and results. It is committed to rapid publication of Letters and Reports in addition to Research Articles and Reviews. Biophysical Reports provides a venue for papers that are written for specialists as well as those written for the broader biophysics community. The journal will consider four types of submissions: Letters are short articles reporting exceptionally important results that require rapid publication. Letters should potentially change the way the reader thinks about an important topic or address a critical question. A Letter should tell a complete story without needing extensive supporting data. Attention will be paid to the significance of the results. Letters are reviewed by a single member of the editorial board and are on an accelerated publication track. Reports are short, single-point stories that might introduce a breakthrough experimental method or analysis tool, describe a theoretical model, or present a standalone result. Reports are also published rapidly but undergo peer review by at least two subject-matter experts. Research Articles present original research in any area of biophysics, especially those areas that are cross-disciplinary. Biophysical Reports provides a venue for those authors who are required to or choose to publish their research in a fully open access online journal. Articles can be focused for specialists or aimed at the general biophysics audience. A Research Article could introduce novel results and interpretations, describe new methods or inventions that can be applied to a biological system, or introduce new technologies that have the potential to open new areas of biophysical investigation. The biophysics of biological systems can range from atomic to molecular to cellular to organismal, with investigations at the bench or in silico. Articles are reviewed by two or three biophysicists, with the goal of publishing exciting and topical science. Reviews provide comprehensive and in-depth overviews on techniques, methods, or tools, both experimental and theoretical, which are of particular importance for biophysics research. Review topics should be of high actuality and sufficiently broad appeal and should fully cover the existing literature. Authors interested in contributing a Review are encouraged to submit a pre-submission inquiry.

Biosensors and Bioelectronics

ISSN: 0956-5663
5 Year impact factor: 10.8
Impact factor: 12.6

Biosensors & Bioelectronics has an open access companion journal Biosensors &Bioelectronics: X. To submit to Biosensors & Bioelectronics: X visit https://www.editorialmanager.com/BIOSX/default.aspx. Biosensors are defined as analytical devices incorporating a biological material, a biologically derived material or a biomimic intimately associated with or integrated within a physicochemical transducer or transducing microsystem, which may be optical, electrochemical, thermometric, piezoelectric, magnetic or micromechanical (Turner et al., 1987; Turner, 1989). Biosensors & Bioelectronics is the principal international journal devoted to research, design, development and application of biosensors and bioelectronics. It is an interdisciplinary journal serving professionals with an interest in the exploitation of biological materials and designs in novel diagnostic and electronic devices including sensors, DNA chips, electronic noses, lab-on-a-chip and μ-TAS. Biosensors usually yield a digital electronic signal which is proportional to the concentration of a specific analyte or group of analytes. While the signal may in principle be continuous, devices can be configured to yield single measurements to meet specific market requirements. Examples of Biosensors include immunosensors, enzyme-based biosensors, organism- and whole cell-based biosensors. They have been applied to a wide variety of analytical problems including uses in medicine, biomedical research, drug discovery, the environment, food, process industries, security and defence. The design and study of molecular and supramolecular structures with molecular biorecognition and biomimetic properties for use in analytical devices is also included within the scope of the journal. Here the focus is on the complementary intersection between molecular recognition, nanotechnology, molecular imprinting and supramolecular chemistry to improve the analytical performance and robustness of devices. The emerging field of Bioelectronics seeks to exploit biology in conjunction with electronics in a wider context encompassing, for example, biological fuel cells, bionics and biomaterials for information processing, information storage, electronic components and actuators. A key aspect is the interface between biological materials and micro- and nano-electronics. While endeavouring to maintain coherence in the scope of the journal, the editors will accept reviews and papers of obvious relevance to the community, which describe important new concepts, underpin understanding of the field or provide important insights into the practical application, manufacture and commercialisation of biosensors and bioelectronics.
