The subject area of FEBS Letters covers all the basic molecular biosciences inherent to microbes, plants and animals in health and disease. To enhance visibility of published articles in different fields, the journal is now subdivided into the following sections:
Bioenergetics; Biophysics; Cell fate determination (cell cycle, cell differentiation, cell death); Chemical Biology; Computational Biology (genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics); Cytoskeleton; Development; Enzymology; Evolution; Genome organization and stability; Glycobiology; Immunology; Membrane Biology (membrane trafficking, vesicles, organelles); Metabolism; Microbiology; Molecular basis of disease; Neuroscience; Plant Biology; Protein Chemistry; Protein Homeostasis; Redox Biology; Regulation of gene expression; RNA Biology; Signal Transduction; Structural Biology; Synthetic Biology; Systems Biology; and Virology.
Research Letters should be short but complete and essentially final reports providing molecular mechanistic insight. Full-length articles should be uploaded as Research Articles. Methodological papers are considered for publication only when they are truly novel and significant, and interesting to a broad readership.
