The Forum for Amino Acid, Peptide and Protein Research
Amino Acids publishes contributions from all fields of amino acid and protein research: analysis, separation (proteomics), synthesis, biosynthesis, evolution, folding, structure, stability, dynamics, medicinal chemistry, catabolism, cross linking amino acids, racemization/enantiomers, modification of amino acids such as phosphorylation, methylation, acetylation, hydroxylation and glycosylation. The journal also welcomes papers on new roles for amino acids and proteins in physiology and pathophysiology, biology, amino acid analogues, polyamines, labeled amino acids, peptides, stable and radioactive isotopes of amino acids, excitatory amino acids, unusual amino acids, and peptides. Applications include medicine (gastroenterology, nephrology, psychiatry, neurology, oncology), biochemistry, structural biology, agriculture and plants, food chemistry, nutrition, microbiology, neurochemistry, pharmacology, and sports. We also encourage the submissions of computational papers and interdisciplinary research such as economic, social sciences and humanities.
Amino Acids is inviting submissions to the following special thematic issues:
Dietary Amino Acids and Intestinal Microbiota
Post-translational modifications (PTM)
The important role of proline metabolism in cancer: mechanisms and targets
Springer Nature provides two paid English language services
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).
As a result of the significant disruption that is being caused by the COVID-19 pandemic we are very aware that many researchers will have difficulty in meeting the timelines associated with our peer review process during normal times. Please do let us know if you need additional time. Our systems will continue to remind you of the original timelines but we intend to be highly flexible at this time.
