Journal Guide

Journal of Molecular Recognition (JMR) publishes original research papers and reviews describing molecular recognition phenomena in biology. Molecular recognition refers to the non-covalent specific interaction between two or more biological molecules exemplified by receptor-ligand, antigen-antibody, DNA-protein, sugar-lectin and many other interactions. Biomolecular interactions are studied both at structural level in terms of atomic coordinates and at functional level in terms of kinetic and equilibrium binding constants. In recent years, these studies have been extended to multimacromolecular complexes and various molecular interaction networks as well as to cellular modules and organelles. The focus is on studies that aim to achieve a complete description of recognition sites in terms of structure, dynamics and activity. JMR provides a forum for research in the field of quantitative biomolecular interaction analysis using biosensors and other solution or surface-mediated experimental techniques including microcalorimetry, atomic force microscopy and molecular imprinting. Since the understanding of molecular recognition at a microscopic level can be aided by theoretical approaches, including electrostatic analysis, molecular dynamics and free energy simulations, these aspects will also be covered. Submission of manuscripts related to the application of other instrumental methods, such as HPLC, LC-MS, CE-MS, NMR/MRI, PET and crystallography employed in the elucidation of the biophysical basis of the pathways of molecular recognition between interacting biological molecules are encouraged. The design, synthesis and application of structural or topological mimics of naturally occurring molecules in the characterisation of molecular recognition processes represent a further aspect encompassed by JMR. These technologies in conjunction with site directed mutagenesis are providing new insights into the correlation between atomic structure and binding energy and pave the way to improved computer simulation, docking and molecular design of biologically active molecules. JMR also publishes articles on the applications of chemically and biologically generated molecular libraries and the creation of novel functions. p> JMR publishes the best research presented at the following conferences: Affinity Meetings (organized by the International Society of Molecular Recognition ISMR), AFM BioMed Conferences, the Aegean International Conferences on Molecular Recognition and the Molecular Imprinting Conferences.

Aims and Scope From the Editor: With the advent of a wide range of diagnostic tools and the recently undreamed of research avenues now available to morphologists. we are experiencing a world-wide explosion of interest and activity in the field of morphological science. Indeed. we firmly believe we have once again entered into a GOLDEN AGE OF MORPHOLOGY! This explosion of activity extends across the entire range of zoology. Invertebrate morphology partners equally with vertebrate morphology in this golden time. and theJournal of Morphologyis excited to be a part of this. As members of this worldwide community of morphologists. you can be assured that. following the dictum 'Present the Science.' we will help you to present your most important. most lasting work in depth and in detail in theJournal of Morphology. Aims and Scope: TheJournal of Morphologywelcomes articles of original research in cytology. protozoology. embryology. and general morphology. Articles generally should not exceed thirty-two printed pages. Preliminary notices or articles of a purely taxonomic or ecological nature are not included. No paper which has already appeared will be accepted nor will simultaneous publications elsewhere be allowed. How to cite:To make sure that references to this journal are correctly recorded and resolved (for example in CrossRef or ISI Web of Science). please use the following abbreviated title in any citations: 'J Morphol.' Punctuation may vary according to the style of the citing journal.

Journal of Multicultural Counseling and Development (JMCD) is the official journal of the Association for Multicultural Counseling and Development (AMCD), a division of the American Counseling Association.

The overall aim of the Journal of Nanomaterials is to bring science and applications together on nanoscale and nanostructured materials with emphasis on synthesis, processing, characterization, and applications of materials containing true nanosize dimensions or nanostructures that enable novel/enhanced properties or functions. It is directed at both academic researchers and practicing engineers. Journal of Nanomaterials will highlight the continued growth and new challenges in nanomaterials science, engineering, and nanotechnology, both for application development and for basic research. All papers should emphasize original results relating to experimental, theoretical, computational, and/or applications of nanomaterials ranging from hard (inorganic) materials, through soft (polymeric and biological) materials, to hybrid materials or nanocomposites. Review papers summarizing the state of the art for a particular research field or tutorial papers, especially those emphasizing multidisciplinary views of nanomaterials and those related to significant nanotechnologies, are also welcome. Journal of Nanomaterials employs a paperless, electronic submission and evaluation system to promote a rapid turnaround in the peer review process.Subject areas include (but are by no means limited to):Nanoparticles, nanocrystals, colloids, sols, and quantum dotsSelf-assemblies and directed assemblies (of moledules and nanoparticles)Films, membranes, and coatingsNanotubes, nanowires, nanofibers, nanorods, and nanobeltsNanoporous, mesoporous, and microporous materialsHierarchical structures and molecular-particle networksSurface and interface sciences and engineeringInorganic-organic hybrids or nanocompositesNanoceramics, metals, and alloysNanomaterials (atomic, molecular, and bulk) characterization techniquesAreas of nanomaterials engineering and applications include (but are not limited to):Chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical technologiesCatalysis, gas/liquid separations, and membrane reactorsEnergy conversion and storage devices/systems such as fuel cells and solar cellsElectronics, photonics, and magneticsSensorsMedicinal, biological, and drug developmentEnvironmental, building, transportation, telecommunications, and food technologiesNuclear, aerospace, military, and national defense/security technologies.
