and function of biomolecules using the methods of organic, biochemical and physical chemistry.

​

The journal is intended for scientists, for those in the health professions, educators, and students in universities and researchers in industrial, medical, agricultural, and environmental control laboratories.

​

Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry (Bioorganicheskaya Khimiya) welcomes papers on all aspects of bioorganic chemistry, biochemistry, cell and molecular biology, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, immunology, molecular virology, molecular evolution and developmental biology.

 

The Journal publishes reviews, minireviews, research articles and theoretical investigations, hypothesis and short communications. The Journal is published in Russian (under the name Bioorganicheskaya Khimiya in the Russian Federation) and in English (under the name Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry) six times a year by Russian Academy of Sciences (IKC "Akademkniga") in Moscow (Russia) and Pleiades Publishing Inc. in the United States. The English edition is distributed worldwide by Springer.

 

Articles are published in Russian and English. Publication of articles in the Russian Journal of Bioorganic Chemistry (Bioorganicheskaya Khimiya) – free.
