《結(jié)構(gòu)》旨在發(fā)表在結(jié)構(gòu)生物學(xué)領(lǐng)域具有特殊興趣的論文。該雜志致力于成為結(jié)構(gòu)生物學(xué)家，以及生物學(xué)家和生物化學(xué)家對(duì)大分子結(jié)構(gòu)和功能感興趣的基本讀物。《結(jié)構(gòu)》強(qiáng)烈鼓勵(lì)提交關(guān)于生物功能和機(jī)制的結(jié)構(gòu)和分子見解的手稿。其他涉及結(jié)構(gòu)生物學(xué)基本問(wèn)題的報(bào)告，例如蛋白質(zhì)進(jìn)化、折疊和/或設(shè)計(jì)的基于結(jié)構(gòu)的檢查，也將被優(yōu)先考慮。我們將考慮任何方法的應(yīng)用，實(shí)驗(yàn)或計(jì)算，在高或低分辨率，進(jìn)行結(jié)構(gòu)研究，只要該方法是適當(dāng)?shù)纳铮δ芎蜋C(jī)械問(wèn)題的解決。同樣，描述單分子生物學(xué)機(jī)制分析的報(bào)告也很受歡迎。一般來(lái)說(shuō)，編輯們鼓勵(lì)提交結(jié)構(gòu)研究，這些研究由處理結(jié)構(gòu)-活動(dòng)關(guān)系的額外實(shí)驗(yàn)系統(tǒng)進(jìn)行驗(yàn)證，并且不會(huì)考慮只報(bào)告結(jié)構(gòu)信息的研究，除非所調(diào)查的結(jié)構(gòu)具有特殊和廣泛的興趣。

Structure aims to publish papers of exceptional interest in the field of structural biology. The journal strives to be essential reading for structural biologists, as well as biologists and biochemists that are interested in macromolecular structure and function. Structure strongly encourages the submission of manuscripts that present structural and molecular insights into biological function and mechanism. Other reports that address fundamental questions in structural biology, such as structure-based examinations of protein evolution, folding and/or design, will also be considered favorably. We will consider the application of any method, experimental or computational, at high or low resolution, to conduct structural investigations, as long as the method is appropriate for the biological, functional, and mechanistic question(s) being addressed. Likewise, reports describing single molecule analysis of biological mechanisms are welcome. In general, the editors encourage submission of structural studies that are validated by additional experimental systems that address structure-activity relationships, and will not consider studies that solely report structural information unless the structure under investigation is of exceptional and broad interest.
