Nature Structural & Molecular Biology is a monthly peer-reviewed scientific journal publishing research articles, reviews, news, and commentaries in structural and molecular biology, with an emphasis on papers that further a "functional and mechanistic understanding of how molecular components in a biological process work together".[1]
It is published by the Nature Publishing Group and was established in 1994 under the title Nature Structural Biology, obtaining its current title in January 2004. Like other Nature journals, there is no external editorial board, with editorial decisions being made by an in-house team, although peer review by external expert referees forms a part of the review process.
Articles are archived online in text and PDF formats; access is by subscription only.[2]
According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2013 impact factor of 11.633, ranking it 14th out of 291 journals in the category "Biochemistry & Molecular Biology",[3] 2nd out of 74 journals in the category "Biophysics",[4] and 14th out of 185 journals in the category "Cell Biology".[5]
