Protein & Peptide Letters publishes letters, original research papers, mini-reviews, and guest-edited issues in all important aspects of protein, peptide, and proteomics research, including structural studies, advances in recombinant expression, function, synthesis, enzymology, immunology, molecular modeling, drug design and large-scale proteomic analyses. Manuscripts must have significant elements 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.
