  • Gene structure and expression
  • Protein, nucleic acid, and carbohydrate structure and metabolism

    • ABP is committed to advancing developments in the field of biochemistry by allowing unrestricted access to articles and communicating scientific knowledge to researchers and the public alike, to enable the scientific breakthroughs of the future. The journal welcomes submissions that support and advance the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

  • SDG 3: Good Health and Well-being - Contributions to medical sciences for better health outcomes and disease treatments.
  • SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure - Promoting innovation in biochemical fields and related industries.
  • SDG 4: Quality Education - Providing educational resources globally, enhancing education in biochemistry.

    • Manuscripts that do not focus on biochemistry or its direct applications are not suitable for publication in this journal.
