Current Opinion in Structural Biology (COSB)
Journal Descriptions
Current Opinion in Structural Biology is a leading bimonthly review journal that has been active since 1991, publishing invited, expert‑authored review articles on advances in structural biology, macromolecular science and related disciplines. Each issue is divided into themed sections organized by Guest Editors and the editorial leadership to reflect cutting‑edge developments and methodological innovations in the field. The journal emphasizes analysis and interpretation of work published over the past two years, helping readers quickly absorb the most important concepts and trends without needing to read extensive primary research literature. Key topics include protein folding and dynamics, macromolecular assemblies, structure‑function relationships, membrane protein structures, computational and AI methodologies, cryo‑EM and other biophysical methods, drug discovery concepts, and 3D genome organization, among others — reflecting the multidisciplinary nature of structural biology. Current Opinion in Structural Biology is widely indexed in major scientific databases such as MEDLINE/PubMed, SCOPUS and Web of Science and maintains high scholarly impact with a strong citation record in biochemistry and molecular biology. Its hybrid publishing model supports both subscription access and open access options, making it a globally visible and influential resource for structural biologists, biochemists, and interdisciplinary life science researchers.
