Amino Acids is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to publishing high-quality research related to the chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, and toxicology of amino acids and related compounds. The journal aims to cover a broad range of topics related to amino acids, including their biosynthesis, catabolism, metabolism, transport, signaling, and functions in the body.
The journal welcomes original research articles, reviews, rapid communications, and mini-reviews on all aspects of amino acids and their derivatives. The main focus of the journal is to publish research studies that enhance our understanding of the biological and physiological roles of amino acids in the human body as well as plants and microbes.
The scope includes, but is not limited to:
The journal also aims to provide a platform for researchers to publish their findings on the therapeutic applications of amino acids and their derivatives in the treatment of various diseases, such as metabolic and neurological disorders, cancer, and cardiovascular diseases. In addition, the journal features articles on the nutritional and dietary aspects of amino acids, such as their dietary intake, supplementation, and metabolism, and how these factors influence human health and disease.
Overall, Amino Acids is an essential forum for researchers, academics, and clinicians interested in the chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, pharmacology, and toxicology of amino acids and related compounds.
We are excited to announce that Amino Acids has now become a fully open-access (OA) journal as of January 2024. This means that we will only be publishing articles as Open Access meaning content will be freely available to readers worldwide, enabling the widest possible dissemination and reuse.
Amino Acids is inviting submissions to the following special thematic issue:
Enzyme Inhibitors for Drug Discovery
This review provides the public with the much-needed knowledge of nutritionally and physiologically significant amino acids, dipeptides and creatine in animal-source foods (including beef).
