The Journal of Membrane Biology

期刊简介：The Journal of Membrane Biology is dedicated to publishing high-quality science related to membrane biology, biochemistry and biophysics. In particular, we welcome work that uses modern experimental or computational methods including but not limited to those with microscopy, diffraction, NMR, computer simulations, or biochemistry aimed at membrane associated or membrane embedded proteins or model membrane systems. These methods might be applied to study topics like membrane protein structure and function, membrane mediated or controlled signaling mechanisms, cell-cell communication via gap junctions, the behavior of proteins and lipids based on monolayer or bilayer systems, or genetic and regulatory mechanisms controlling membrane function.Research articles, short communications and reviews are all welcome. We also encourage authors to consider publishing 'negative' results where experiments or simulations were well performed, but resulted in unusual or unexpected outcomes without obvious explanations.While we welcome connections to clinical studies, submissions that are primarily clinical in nature or that fail to make connections to the basic science issues of membrane structure, chemistry and function, are not appropriate for the journal. In a similar way, studies that are primarily descriptive and narratives of assays in a clinical or population study are best published in other journals. If you are not certain, it is entirely appropriate to write to us to inquire if your study is a good fit for the journal.

【译文】《膜生物学杂志》致力于发表与膜生物学、生物化学和生物物理学相关的高质量科学成果。特别是，我们欢迎使用现代实验或计算方法的研究，包括但不限于显微镜、衍射、核磁共振、计算机模拟或针对膜相关或嵌入膜蛋白或模型膜系统的生物化学方法。这些方法可以应用于研究膜蛋白结构和功能、膜介导或控制的信号传导机制、通过缝隙连接的细胞间通讯、基于单层或双层系统的蛋白质和脂质的行为，或控制膜功能的遗传和调控机制。欢迎研究文章、简报和综述。我们也鼓励作者考虑发表'负面'结果，即实验或模拟进行得很好，但结果出现了异常或未解释的预期之外的结果。虽然我们欢迎与临床研究建立联系，但主要属于临床性质或未能与膜结构、化学和功能的基本科学问题建立联系的投稿不适合该杂志。同样，主要描述性和临床或人群研究中实验方法的叙述最好在其他杂志发表。如果您不确定，写信给我们询问您的研究是否适合该杂志是完全合适的。
