Current Opinion in Structural Biology aims to stimulate scientifically grounded, interdisciplinary, multi-scale debate and exchange of ideas. It contains polished, concise and timely reviews and opinions, with particular emphasis on those articles published in the past two years. In addition to describing recent trends, the authors are encouraged to give their subjective opinion of the topics discussed.In COSB, we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner:1. The views of experts on current advances in their field in a clear and readable form. 2. Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications.COSB will serve as an invaluable source of information for researchers, lecturers, teachers, professionals, policy makers and students.Division of the subject into sectionsThe subject of Structural Biology is divided into thirteen themed sections, each of which is reviewed once a year. Folding, Binding, and Protein Design AI Methodologies in Structural Biology Theory and Simulation/Computational Methods Macromolecular Assemblies New Concepts in Drug Discovery Single Molecule and Macromolecular Dynamics 3D Genome and Subcellular Organization Membranes and Membrane Proteins Cryo-EM Biophysical Methods Protein-Nucleic Acid Interactions Catalysis and Regulation Single Cell and Cell-Cell Interactions Selection of topics to be reviewedGuest Editors, who are major authorities in the field, are appointed by the Editors of the journal. They divide their section into a number of topics, ensuring that the field is comprehensively covered and that all issues of current importance are emphasised. Guest Editors commission reviews from authorities on each topic that they have selected. The Editorial Board provides support to the Editors and the Guest Editors with their comments and suggestions on names and topics.Review articles in COSB are by invitation only. The journal does not accept manuscripts other from those invited by guest editors, appointed by Editors-in-Chief.Review ArticlesThe Current Opinion journals were developed out of the recognition that it is increasingly difficult for specialists to keep up to date with the expanding volume of information published in their subject. In the Current Opinion journals, we help the reader by providing in a systematic manner: (1) The views of experts on current advances in the field in a clear and readable form. (2) Evaluations of the most interesting papers, annotated by experts, from the great wealth of original publications. The aim of the manuscript is to review recent articles, with particular emphasis on those articles published in the past two years. In addition to describing recent trends, you are encouraged to give your subjective opinion of the topics discussed, although you should not concentrate unduly on your own research. Your review should be approximately 2000 words (not including references or reference notes), with approximately 50 references and, as such, the review is intended to be a concise view of the field as it is at the moment, rather than a comprehensive overview. Our audience ranges from student to professor, so articles must be accessible to a wide readership. Please avoid jargon, but do not oversimplify: be accurate and precise throughout. Occasionally, unpublished data can be referred to, but only when essential and should never be used to substantiate any significant point. Editorial OverviewSection Editors write a short overview at the beginning of the section to introduce the reviews and to draw the reader's attention to any particularly interesting developments. This successful format has made COSB one of the most highly regarded review journals in the field.Please see further information under writing and formatting – additional information.
