Journal Title：Journal Of Molecular Recognition

Journal of Molecular Recognition (JMR) publishes original research papers and reviews describing substantial advances in our understanding of molecular recognition phenomena in life sciences, covering all aspects from biochemistry, molecular biology, medicine, and biophysics. The research may employ experimental, theoretical and/or computational approaches.

The focus of the journal is on recognition phenomena involving biomolecules and their biological / biochemical partners rather than on the recognition of metal ions or inorganic compounds. Molecular recognition involves non-covalent specific interactions between two or more biological molecules, molecular aggregates, cellular modules or organelles, as exemplified by receptor-ligand, antigen-antibody, nucleic acid-protein, sugar-lectin, to mention just a few of the possible interactions. The journal invites manuscripts that aim to achieve a complete description of molecular recognition mechanisms between well-characterized biomolecules in terms of structure, dynamics and biological activity. Such studies may help the future development of new drugs and vaccines, although the experimental testing of new drugs and vaccines falls outside the scope of the journal. Manuscripts that describe the application of standard approaches and techniques to design or model new molecular entities or to describe interactions between biomolecules, but do not provide new insights into molecular recognition processes will not be considered. Similarly, manuscripts involving biomolecules uncharacterized at the sequence level (e.g. calf thymus DNA) will not be considered.

Journal of Molecular Recognition (JMR) 发表原创研究论文和评论，描述我们对生命科学中分子识别现象的理解取得的重大进展，涵盖生物化学、分子生物学、医学和生物物理学的各个方面。研究可以采用实验、理论和/或计算方法。

该期刊的重点是涉及生物分子及其生物/生化伙伴的识别现象，而不是金属离子或无机化合物的识别。分子识别涉及两个或多个生物分子、分子聚集体、细胞模块或细胞器之间的非共价特异性相互作用，例如受体-配体、抗原-抗体、核酸-蛋白质、糖-凝集素等。可能的相互作用。该杂志征集旨在对特征良好的生物分子之间的分子识别机制在结构、动力学和生物活性方面进行完整描述的手稿。此类研究可能有助于未来新药和疫苗的开发，尽管新药和疫苗的实验测试不属于该期刊的范围。描述应用标准方法和技术来设计或模拟新分子实体或描述生物分子之间相互作用的手稿，但不提供对分子识别过程的新见解，将不予考虑。同样，涉及未在序列水平上表征的生物分子（例如小牛胸腺 DNA）的手稿将不予考虑。
