In this IJMS section, original peer-reviewed papers from all aspects of biochemistry, molecular biology and biophysics are published. Studies on chemical processes and transformations in living organisms, dealing with the structure and function of cellular components, such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, nucleic acids and other biomolecules will be considered. Studies helping to understand the interactions between the various systems of a cell, including the interrelationship of DNA, RNA and protein synthesis and the regulation thereof are also welcome.
