Journal Guide

Metabolic Engineering Communications is devoted to publishing original research in the areas of metabolic engineering, synthetic biology, computational biology and systems biology for problems related to metabolism and the engineering of metabolism for the production of fuels, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals.The journal will carry articles on the design, construction, and analysis of biological systems ranging from pathway components to biological complexes and genomes (including genomic, analytical and bioinformatics methods) in suitable host cells to allow them to produce novel compounds of industrial and medical interest. Demonstrations of regulatory designs and synthetic circuits that alter the performance of biochemical pathways and cellular processes will also be presented. Metabolic Engineering Communications complements the full journal through the publication of articles that are shorter, or describe key elements of larger metabolic engineering efforts, than those published in the full journal while similarly impacting the development of the field.
Types of papers: Short Papers, Priority Communications, and Short Opinion Pieces

Metabolites (ISSN 2218-1989) is an international, peer-reviewed open access journal of metabolism and metabolomics. Metabolites publishes original research articles and review articles in molecular aspects of metabolism relevant to the fields of metabolomics, metabolic biochemistry, computational and systems biology, biotechnology and medicine, with a particular focus on the biological roles of metabolites and small molecule biomarkers.

Metabolomics publishes a substantial share of the most significant current research in the areas of various-technology platform development for metabolomics, metabolite target analysis, metabolic profiling and metabolic fingerprinting; progress in data preparation, storage, curation and analyses; comparative integrated studies with transcriptomics and proteomics including within a systems biology context; and the application of metabolomics as it relates to man, animals and plants.Metabolomics includes wide-ranging and rigorously peer-reviewed research papers and reviews ; a comment section for responses from readers on articles published; conference announcements and reports; funding initiatives and other metabolomics topics; occasional special issues focusing on subjects of particular interest.  Metabolomics publishes six issues a year.  Metabolomics is the official journal of the Metabolomics Society.

Molecular Genetics and Metabolism is a contribution to the understanding of the metabolic basis of disease. The journal publishes articles describing investigations that use the tools of biochemistry and molecular biology for studies of normal and diseased states. In addition to original research articles, occasional minireviews reporting timely advances as well as brief communications and letters to the editor are considered.Research Areas include:• Inherited Metabolic Diseases:- Biochemical studies of primary enzyme defects- Molecular genetic analyses of mutations- Pathogenesis of these disorders, including not only primary but also secondary metabolic alterations• Systems Biology:- Functional integration of biochemical network modules- Moonlighting functions of proteins• Intercellular and Intracellular Metabolic Relationships:- Biochemical interactions between cells- Functional roles of and interactions between subcellular compartments and distinct regions within these cellular spaces, termed microcompartments- Metabolic relations between individual enzymes and pathways• Cellular Catalysts:- Protein and nonprotein catalyst in normal and deranged cellular metabolism- Relationships between the structure and function of catalytic molecules- Interaction of these catalysts with other cellular components• Disease Pathogenesis:- Underlying mechanisms of inherited and acquired diseases- Relationships between genotype and phenotype at the biochemical and molecular levels• Treatment:- Drug, protein and dietary interventions- Transplantation and gene therapy- Multicenter clinical trialsAdvances in nanomedicine, nanopediatrics and nanotechnology are also welcome.

Nature Reviews' clinical content is written by internationally renowned clinical academics and researchers and targeted towards readers in the medical sciences, from postgraduate level upwards. While intended to be read by practicing doctors, researchers and academics within a specialty, we aim to make all our articles accessible to readers working in any medical discipline.In-depth Reviews present authoritative, up-to-date information on a topic, placing it in the context of a field's history and development. Topical discussion and opinions are proffered in Perspectives and News & Views articles, and in the Research Highlights section we filter primary research from a range of specialty and general medical journals. Finally, Case Studies enable authors to present novel and interesting cases and discuss the most useful features to bear in mind for treating future cases.
