Current Opinion in Structural Biology is mainly concerned with subjects like Biochemistry, Computational biology, Protein structure, Cell biology and Biophysics. Enzyme, Nucleic acid, Binding site and RNA are among the areas of Biochemistry tackled. In the journal, Structural biology, Genetics, Function (biology), Nanotechnology and Bioinformatics are investigated in conjunction with one another to address concerns in Computational biology research.
The Genetics research presented places emphasis on topics like DNA, Gene and Genome. The journal explores issues in Protein structure which can be linked to other research areas like Plasma protein binding and Protein folding. It links adjacent topics like Protein folding with Folding (chemistry).
The studies in Biophysics featured incorporate elements of Crystallography and Membrane, Membrane protein.
The most cited papers mostly deal with topics like Biochemistry, Protein structure, Computational biology, Protein folding and Biophysics. Issues in Biochemistry were discussed in the most cited publications, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Stereochemistry and Cell biology. The journal papers facilitate discussions on Protein structure that incorporate concepts from other fields like Structural biology, Plasma protein binding, Nanotechnology and Allosteric regulation.
Statistical physics, Molecular dynamics, Protein design, Biological system and Energy (signal processing) are among the topics commonly tackled in Current Opinion in Structural Biology. Statistical physics research presented in it encompasses a variety of subjects, including Solvent models and A protein. While work presented in Current Opinion in Structural Biology provided substantial information on Molecular dynamics, it also covered topics in Artificial neural network and Artificial intelligence.
Issues in Protein design were discussed, taking into consideration concepts from other disciplines like Variety (cybernetics), Distributed computing and Function (engineering). It facilitates discussions on Biological system that incorporate concepts from other fields like Stability (learning theory), Force field parameterization, Protein folding, Protein molecules and Protein function. The journal holds forums on Energy (signal processing) that merges themes from other disciplines such as Solvation, Range (mathematics), Complex system, Molecular mechanics and Flexibility (engineering).
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Current Opinion in Structural Biology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Current Opinion in Structural Biology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2022 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 6.25% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 0.00% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 37.50% of all publications and 56.25% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)Studying Chemistry in the USA opens doors to various interdisciplinary career opportunities, especially in healthcare and pharmaceuticals. For students interested in blending science with patient care, online programs like online medical assistant programs that accept financial aid provide accessible routes to launching a health services career. These programs are great for gaining practical skills without relocating or interrupting your current job.
Advanced practice roles in nursing are also a natural extension for chemistry graduates who want to specialize further. Exploring the best online DNP program options offers flexibility to those pursuing a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree without the need for clinical hours, ideal for working professionals.
Similarly, for those interested in medication development and patient care at a pharmaceutical level, PharmD online programs provide a convenient pathway to becoming a licensed pharmacist, combining chemistry knowledge with healthcare applications.
Lastly, nurses looking to advance their credentials can benefit from the RN to BSN online programs, which offer flexible scheduling and help bridge the gap between practical nursing and professional nursing science.
