Manuscripts must have a significant element of novelty, timeliness and urgency that merit rapid publication. Reports of crystallization and preliminary structure determination of biologically important proteins are considered only if they include significant new approaches or deal with proteins of immediate importance, and preliminary structure determinations of biologically important proteins. Purely theoretical/review papers should provide new insight into the principles of protein/peptide structure and function. Manuscripts describing computational work should include some experimental data to provide confirmation of the results of calculations

A Community-Based Journal for Protein ScientistsIn January 2004, the journal Protein Engineering was relaunched as Protein Engineering, Design and Selection, or PEDS. PEDS publishes research papers and review articles relevant to the engineering, design and selection of proteins for use in biotechnology and therapy, and for understanding fundamental properties of activity, stability, folding, misfolding and disease. The journal has new editors, a new editorial structure, and a new reviewing system to make it a community journal run by protein scientists for their own discipline.

The power of modern molecular genetics to provide large quantities of proteins that were previously difficult to obtain has sparked an explosion of interest in both practical and theoretical aspects of protein purification.Protein Expression and Purification is dedicated to providing a forum for information about protein isolation based on conventional fractionation as well as techniques employing various molecular biological procedures to increase protein expression.The following types of articles are published:• Original articles reporting novel or significantly improved isolations of highly purified proteins• Procedures for expressing and isolating proteins from genetically engineered sources• Novel or improved molecular biological methods for overexpression of specific proteins• Review articles that describe and evaluate important approaches to the expression and purification of proteins
