About the journal
|
Biopolymers publishes original research papers in the field of biopolymers (proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides), low molecular weight molecules relevant to the study of biopolymers (including model systems, monomers, oligomers, and molecules which interact with biopolymers), and bioassemblies.
In addition to experimental work, Biopolymers is also an outstanding forum for the publication of theoretical and computer simulation research. Peptide Science, the sole affiliate journal of the American Peptide Society, is published as a distinct volume within the Biopolymers family, while biospectroscopy and nucleic acid articles are incorporated into Biopolymers.
The Editors desire to publish Rapid Communications, which should be brief, timely, and of sufficient interest or urgency to warrant rapid publication. Such publication is not a bar to publication of a fuller account of the work at a later date.
Using the aims and scope described above, The Editors of Biopolymers and the Publisher strive to bring the broadest coverage of our disciplines to the scientific community. We look forward to continuing this worthy endeavor.

Manuscript Submission
The Editors desire to receive manuscripts for Biopolymers based on original research in the field of biopolymers (proteins, nucleic acids, and polysaccharides), low molecular weight molecules relevant to the study of biopolymers (including model systems, monomers, oligomers, and molecules which interact with biopolymers), and molecular dynamics and bioassemblies.
Biopolymers also publishes biospectroscopy articles for the growing number of molecular spectroscopists interested in biological applications and researchers in biological areas interested in keeping current on the use of molecular spectroscopy to address life-science problems.
The Editors will also consider for publication Rapid Communications, which should be brief, timely, and of sufficient interest or urgency to warrant rapid publication. Manuscripts should be 12 manuscript pages or less, double spaced, including references and tables. Such publication will not be a bar to publication of a fuller account of the work at a later date.
The aim of Peptide Science is to provide a forum to publish timely articles that will correlate research results between the subdisciplines of the peptide sciences. A wide range of subjects will be covered, including peptide hormones, vaccines, opioids, neuropeptides, immunomodulators, enzyme inhibitors, and others.

Manuscript Preparation
- For Biopolymers, authors must provide the name, affiliation and email address of five potential impartial reviewers for consideration by the Editors. Authors will have an opportunity to suggest reviewers during the online submission process. Authors also have the option to suggest the Biopolymer Editorial Board Member or Biospectroscopy Editor of their choice to manage the peer review of their manuscript. Final assignment to manage the review of manuscripts will be at the discretion of the Editor-in-Chief.
- For Peptide Science, authors must provide the name, affiliation and email address of four potential impartial reviewers for consideration by the Editors.
- A short synopsis, limited to 250 words, of the main contributions in the paper is required. A summary of the whole paper, not the conclusions alone, should form the synopsis.
- The paper should be reasonably subdivided into sections and, if necessary, subsections.
- Do not use footnotes in the text.
- The recommendations of the IUPAC-IUB Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature should be followed for the abbreviations of natural and synthetic amino acid derivatives, peptides, polypeptides, nucleic acids, and polynucleotides. Biochemical Nomenclature and Related Documents may be ordered from the Biochemical Society: Biochemical Society Book Depot, P.O. Box 32, Commerce Way, Colchester, Essex, England, CO2 8HP United Kingdom.
- A list of phrases for indexing should be included with the manuscript on submission. These entries should be specific and cross-referenced. The index list should be typed on a separate sheet (different from the title page) and should have the title of the manuscript and the name(s) of the author(s) typed at the top of the page.
- Software and format: Microsoft Word is preferred, although manuscripts prepared with any other word processor are acceptable. Refrain from complex formatting; the publisher will style your manuscript according to the Journal design specifications. Do not use desktop publishing software such as Aldus PageMaker or Quark XPress. If you prepared your manuscript with one of these programs, export the text to a word-processing format. Please make sure your word processing program's "fast save" feature is turned off. Please do not deliver files that contain hidden text: for example, do not use your word processor's automated features to create footnotes. If you are using EndNote to create your reference list, you must use the "Remove Field Codes" feature before submitting your manuscript.
