Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is an integrated forum for structural and molecular studies. The journal places a strong emphasis on functional and mechanistic understanding of how molecular components in a biological process work together. 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 complexesDNA replication, repair and recombinationChromatin structure and remodelingTranscriptionRNA processingTranslationRegulation of transcription and translationFunctions of noncoding RNAsProtein folding, processing and degradationSorting and trafficking of proteins and RNASignal transduction and intracellular signalingMembrane processesCell surface proteins and cell-cell interactionsMolecular basis of disease
