About the Journal

A Community-Based Journal for Protein Scientists

In January 2004, the journal Protein Engineering was relaunched as Protein Engineering, Design and Selection, or PEDS. PEDS publishes research papers and review articles relevant to the engineering, design and selection of proteins for use in biotechnology and therapy, and for understanding fundamental properties of activity, stability, folding, misfolding and disease. The journal has new editors, a new editorial structure, and a new reviewing system to make it a community journal run by protein scientists for their own discipline.

SENIOR EDITORS

Alan Fersht
Department of Chemistry, University of Cambridge and MRC Centre for Protein Engineering, Cambridge

Valerie Daggett
Department of Bioengineering, University of Washington

REVIEWS EDITOR

Dan Tawfik
Department of Biological Chemistry, The Weizmann Institute of Science

Features of the relaunched journal:

  • fast turnaround
  • an editorial reviewing system that ensures rapid editing and review by someone whose interests lie close to the subject of your paper
  • free archive after 6 months
  • available free or at reduced rates to the 120 poorest countries
  • no page charges and up to 30 free offprints or a unique url that may be distributed at will

Protein Engineering content is available within the PEDS archive.
