Biochimica et Biophysica Acta: Bioenergetics

ISSN: 0005-2728
5 Year impact factor: 3.6
Impact factor: 3.4

BBA Bioenergetics covers the area of biological membranes involved in energy transfer and conversion. In particular, it focuses on elucidating molecular mechanisms and structure-function relationships of bioenergetic components of photosynthesis, mitochondrial and bacterial respiration, oxidative phosphorylation, and motility and transport, as well as their structural aspects. The journal spans applications of advanced biochemical and biophysical approaches, including spectroscopy, structural biology, and molecular modeling in these systems. Additionally, it addresses bioenergetic aspects of mitochondrial biology, including biomedical aspects of energy metabolism, also related to mitochondrial disorders and neurodegenerative diseases.Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission.

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta: Molecular Basis of Disease

ISSN: 0925-4439
5 Year impact factor: 5.5
Impact factor: 4.2

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: 4.9
Impact factor: 4.6

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.Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission.

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta: Proteins and Proteomics

ISSN: 1570-9639
5 Year impact factor: 2.8
Impact factor: 2.5

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.Please see our Guide for Authors for information on article submission.
