Journal of Molecular Recognition (JMR) publishes original research papers and reviews describing substantial advances in our understanding of molecular recognition phenomena in life sciences, covering all aspects from biochemistry, molecular biology, medicine, and biophysics. The research may employ experimental, theoretical and/or computational approaches.

The focus of the journal is on recognition phenomena involving biomolecules and their biological / biochemical partners rather than on the recognition of metal ions or inorganic compounds. Molecular recognition involves non-covalent specific interactions between two or more biological molecules, molecular aggregates, cellular modules or organelles, as exemplified by receptor-ligand, antigen-antibody, nucleic acid-protein, sugar-lectin, to mention just a few of the possible interactions. The journal invites manuscripts that aim to achieve a complete description of molecular recognition mechanisms between well-characterized biomolecules in terms of structure, dynamics and biological activity. Such studies may help the future development of new drugs and vaccines, although the experimental testing of new drugs and vaccines falls outside the scope of the journal. Manuscripts that describe the application of standard approaches and techniques to design or model new molecular entities or to describe interactions between biomolecules, but do not provide new insights into molecular recognition processes will not be considered. Similarly, manuscripts involving biomolecules uncharacterized at the sequence level (e.g. calf thymus DNA) will not be considered.

《分子识别杂志》（JMR）发表原创研究论文和评论，描述我们对生命科学中分子识别现象的理解的重大进展，涵盖生物化学、分子生物学、医学和生物物理学的各个方面。研究可能采用实验、理论和/或计算方法。

该期刊的重点是涉及生物分子及其生物/生化伙伴的识别现象，而不是金属离子或无机化合物的识别。分子识别涉及两个或多个生物分子、分子聚集体、细胞模块或细胞器之间的非共价特异性相互作用，例如受体-配体、抗原-抗体、核酸-蛋白质、糖-凝集素，仅举几例可能的相互作用。该期刊邀请旨在从结构、动力学和生物活性方面全面描述已充分表征的生物分子之间的分子识别机制的稿件。此类研究可能有助于未来新药和疫苗的开发，尽管新药和疫苗的实验测试不属于该期刊的范围。描述标准方法和技术在设计或建模新分子实体或描述生物分子之间相互作用方面的应用，但未提供分子识别过程的新见解的稿件将不予考虑。同样，涉及序列水平上未表征的生物分子（例如小牛胸腺 DNA）的稿件将不予考虑。

该刊已被国际权威数据库SCIE收录，该刊致力于发表经过严格同行评审的高质量原创文章，反映生物-生化与分子生物学领域的新进展、新技术、新成果，促进该领域科研交流和科研成果转化。该刊2023年影响因子为2.3，平均审稿速度为 较慢,6-12周 ，近四年来没有被列入预警名单。如果您需要投稿发表服务及指导，可以联系我们的客服老师，我们专业专注服务期刊投稿协助10年，为您提供期刊投稿个性化定制服务，并且我们确保严格保密您的个人信息及稿件内容。
