Journal of Molecular Biology (JMB) provides high quality, comprehensive and broad coverage in all areas of molecular biology. The journal publishes original scientific research papers that provide mechanistic and functional insights and report a significant advance to the field. The journal encourages the submission of multidisciplinary studies that use complementary experimental and computational approaches to address challenging biological questions.

Research areas include but are not limited to:
Biomolecular interactions, signaling networks, systems biology
Cell cycle, cell growth, cell differentiation
Cell death, autophagy
Cell signaling and regulation
Chemical biology
Computational biology, in combination with experimental studies
DNA replication, repair, and recombination
Development, regenerative biology, mechanistic and functional studies of stem cells
Epigenetics, chromatin structure and function
Gene expression
Membrane processes, cell surface proteins and cell-cell interactions
Methodological advances, both experimental and theoretical, including databases
Microbiology, virology, and interactions with the host or environment
Microbiota mechanistic and functional studies
Nuclear organization
Post-translational modifications, proteomics
Processing and function of biologically important macromolecules and complexes
Molecular basis of disease
RNA processing, structure and functions of non-coding RNAs, transcription
Sorting, spatiotemporal organization, trafficking
