Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal (CSBJ) is an online gold open access journal publishing research articles and reviews after full peer review. All articles are published, without barriers to access, immediately upon acceptance. The journal places a strong emphasis on functional and mechanistic understanding of how molecular components in a biological process work together through the application of computational methods. Structural data may provide such insights, but they are not a pre-requisite for publication in the journal. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to:Structure and function of proteins, nucleic acids and other macromoleculesStructure and function of multi-component complexesProtein folding, processing and degradationEnzymologyComputational and structural studies of plant systemsMicrobial InformaticsGenomicsProteomicsMetabolomicsAlgorithms and Hypothesis in BioinformaticsMathematical and Theoretical BiologyComputational Chemistry and Drug DiscoveryMicroscopy and Molecular ImagingNanotechnologySystems and Synthetic Biology
