Structure Impact Factor, Indexing, Ranking 2024

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. 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 experimental structural studies that are enriched by an analysis of structure-activity relationships and will not consider studies that solely report structural information unless the structure or analysis is of exceptional and broad interest. Studies reporting only homology models, de novo models, or molecular dynamics simulations are also discouraged unless the models are informed by or validated by novel experimental data; rationalization of a large body of existing experimental evidence and making testable predictions based on a model or simulation is often not considered sufficient.

《结构》期刊致力于发布结构生物学领域具有卓越意义的论文。该期刊力图成为结构生物学家、对大分子结构和功能感兴趣的生物学家以及生物化学家的必读材料。《结构》期刊强烈鼓励提交那些展示生物功能与机制中结构及分子洞察力的稿件。同时，也将考虑那些针对结构生物学基本问题的报告，例如基于结构的蛋白质进化、折叠和/或设计研究。我们将考虑应用任何方法，无论是实验的还是计算的，无论是高分辨率还是低分辨率，只要这些方法适合解决所涉及的生物学、功能性和机制性问题。同样，欢迎提交描述生物机制单分子分析的报告。一般来说，编辑们鼓励提交那些通过结构-活性关系分析得到丰富内容的实验结构研究，除非结构或分析具有非凡的广泛兴趣，否则将不会考虑仅报告结构信息的研究。对于仅报告同源模型、从头模型或分子动力学模拟的研究也持保留态度，除非这些模型是由新颖的实验数据所指导或验证；通常认为对大量现有实验证据的合理化解释和基于模型或模拟的可测试预测并不足以构成充分理由。
