SUBJECTS OF PUBLICATION
The Editorial Board uses the term bioorganic chemistry to cover a wide range of problems related to the investigation of the structure and function of biomolecules using the methods of organic and physical chemistry.
The journal publishes original articles dedicated to investigations of the structure, structure杅unction relationship, and synthesis of biologically important high-molecular mass compounds (proteins, nucleic acids, polysaccharides, and mixed biopolymers of any type). The journal also publishes investigations of the chemical background for the activity of highly organized cell components (e.g., cell membranes or molecular receptor complexes), intact cells and organs, problems of neuro- and immunochemistry, biotechnology, and fundamental principles for developing diagnosticums for the most important infectious diseases.
The journal pays great attention to new achievements in the field of low-molecular mass bioregulators. Studies of natural products (e.g., peptides, peptide and steroid hormones, lipids, vitamins, antibiotics, prostaglandins, alkaloids, and other chemical compounds from microorganisms, fungi, plants, and animals), their synthetic analogues, and synthetic biologically active compounds (e.g., drugs or pesticides) are appropriate subjects for publication. Ecological problems, analyses of natural toxicants and xenobiotics, and the protection of the environment from their impact are also possible subjects for publication.
FORMS OF PUBLICATIONS
1. The principal form of publication is a paper con-taining the results of original experimental or theoretical investigations.
A submitted manuscript should contain new data that not been published before. Papers including detailed experimental material previously published in the form of a short communication or thesis are also acceptable. In this case, a reference to the previous communication should be given.

11. Table of contents, abstracts of papers, and other important information (including these Guidelines for Authors) are also available via the Internet; see Web Sites: http://www.maik.ru and http://rjbc.siobc.ras.ru.
PREPARATION OF MANUSCRIPTS
1. Two copies of the manuscript should be submitted to the Editorial Board. All pages of an article should be numbered consecutively, including the list of references. If several papers are submitted simultaneously, the order of their publication should be indicated by the authors.
2. The text of the article should also be submitted in electronic form (see paragraph 14 of this section).
3. Papers and LETTERS TO THE EDITOR should be arranged in the following way:
(1) RUBRIC (if necessary).
(2) Title of the article.
(3) List of authors by initials and surname. If the work was carried out at more than one institution, then the names of authors should be followed by superscript asterisks to affiliate them to the corresponding institutions. It is also necessary to indicate the author for correspondence by a footnote; additional requisites of the author (phone, fax, e-mail) are also desirable.
(4) The full names of institutions, including the name of the city and the full mailing address where the author for correspondence works.
(5) The abstract (no more than 1.5 typewritten pages, i.e., ~2500 characters) with a brief description of the content and the most significant results of the work. The use of formulas in a graphic format is not recommended in the abstract. The abstract is a separate part of the manuscript, and therefore, all necessary abbreviations and conventional signs must be indicated here.
(6) Key words (no more than 6 words) that will be used for the preparation of the subject index of the volume.
(7) A section entitled INTRODUCTION.
(8) A section entitled RESULTS AND DISCUSSION.
(9) An EXPERIMENTAL section. This should include enough details to permit reproduction of the experiments and include the detailed characteristics of the reagents and sorbents used or the methods of their preparation, the instruments applied, references to the standard procedures, etc.
(10) ACKNOWLEDGMENTS (if necessary). The names of the funding organizations should be written out in full, and grant (project) numbers should be given.
(11) REFERENCES (on separate sheets).
(12) TABLES (each on a separate sheet).(13) FIGURE CAPTIONS. All figure captions should be typed together on one or more separate sheets.
(14) Figures, schemes, and chemical formulas.
(15) English version for items (2)?6) (i.e., for the title, the list of authors by the initials and surname, the list of affiliations and addresses of the authors, the abstract, and key words). The author submitting an article to the Editorial Board should present written evidence that its publication has been approved by all coauthors.
4. In order to bring the English version of the article as close to the original as possible and to facilitate the translator抯 work, the authors are requested to present an English list of specific terms, name reactions and reagents, names of biological objects, and trivial names of chemical compounds, preparations, and reagents used in the course of the investigation. Submission of the full English version of the article translated by the authors (taking into account all improvements and corrections inserted in the process of the preparation the Russian version) is also possible upon agreement with the Editorial Board. If the quality of the translation is satisfactory, it will be published and paid for.
5. TABLES and FIGURES should be numbered in the same order in which they are mentioned in the text, and their positions should be indicated in the margins of the article.
6. Figures and photographs should be carefully prepared and submitted in two copies. Each figure should be marked at the bottom of the front side with the name of the journal, the name of the first author, and the figure number. For optimum reproduction, the width and height of the original figure should be one and a half or twice the publication size. The photographs should be sharp, clear, and printed on glossy white photographic paper. Electronic copies of figures are desirable.
7. Chemical formulas and schemes should be either carefully written in the text or, like figures, typed together on separate sheets. Chemical formulas and compounds are numbered with bold Roman numerals enclosed in parentheses in the same order in which they are mentioned in formulas, schemes, or tables.
8. As a rule, figure captions and table legends should be comprehensible without reference to the text (unless this information has already been included in another caption, legend, or the Experimental section). Arrangement of the information in tabular or graphical form is not recommended if the same information can be presented more effectively by a mathematical expression or by running text.
9. References to the cited literature should be numbered with Arabic numerals enclosed in square brackets in the order of their citation in the text. If the article is part of a serial publication, the previous communication should be numbered as [1] in the list of references. This reference is inserted in a footnote on the first page RUSSIAN JOURNAL of the article. References cited in the tables or in the figure captions are numbered according to the position of the corresponding material in the text. REFERENCES should be listed after ACKNOWLEDGMENTS in numerical order. For books translated into Russian, original issues must be cited first.
Reference to an article in press is possible only when it has been accepted for publication. Literature references should be arranged and punctuated with all the authors indicated as shown:

All journals that are listed in the Chemical Abstracts Service Source Index should be abbreviated as they appear there. The names of Russian editions are presented in the language according to VINITI recommendation.
11. Enzymes should be named according to the IUB classification, followed by the current Enzyme Commission (EC) number in parentheses (see Appendix 4).
12. The names of chemical compounds should be consistent with the nomenclature recommended by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) and the International Union of Biochemistry (IUB) (see IUPAC抯 Nomenclature of Organic Chemistry, 3rd ed., IUPAC抯 Nomenclature of Inorganic Chemistry, 2nd ed., and Appendix 4).
13. Standard abbreviations and symbols recommended by the IUPAC朓UB Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature should be used to designate the trivial names of chemical compounds and groups (residues, radicals, substituents) (see Appendices 1 and 2, the IUPAC朓UB rules given in Appendix 4 and published in Eur. J. Biochem., 1983, vol. 131, no. 1, and the Web Sites: http://www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/iupac and http://www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/iubmb).
Nonstandard abbreviations of chemical compounds and general abbreviations are recommended only if complicated word combinations are repeatedly used in the text. All chemical abbreviations should be given in Latin transcription; e.g., DCC, N,N'-dicyclohexylcar-bodiimide. Exceptions are the Russian cryptograms for RNA, DNA and their derivatives. It is possible to use a mixed transcription with a hyphen between the Latin cryptogram and Russian part of the compound word.
Nonstandard abbreviated chemical names, when necessary, should be composed in accordance with the international rules for the usage of chemical symbols; the application of ambigous literal cryptograms is not recommended [e.g., Me4Si or Me3Si are preferable to TMS, (MeO)2Tr is better than DMTr, etc.].
The use of cryptograms for enzyme names (e.g., LDH for lactic dehydrogenase) is not recommended. Abbreviated names of enzymes consisting of the substrate symbol and the type of enzyme activity (D-Gln-transferase, Hse-dehydrogenase) are acceptable.
Russian transcription is acceptable for such generally recognized abbreviations as HPLC, IR, ORD, or PCR.
All nonstandard abbreviations as well as standard abbreviations included in the IUPAC朓UB recommendation but not included in Appendices 1 and 2 should be defined in the footnote to the first sentence of the article. The abbreviations given in Appendices 1? do not require decoding.
Isotope-containing compounds should be designated in the following way: CH3 朇H2H朞H or (1-2H1 )ethanol, H235SO4 , ( 32P)ATP (for isotope substituted compounds) and CH3 朇H[2H]朞H or [1-2H1]ethanol, [32P]ATP (for isotopically labeled compounds). For details, see Appendix 4.
Abbreviations for metric and SI (International System) units of measure should be given in Russian transcription (see also Appendix 5).
14. The electronic version of the article should be submitted on 3.5" or 5.25" MS-DOS formatted diskettes. The file should be prepared with MicrosoftWord or Word for Windows (please specify the system and version number). It is also desirable that the main text be presented in text format. Diskettes will be returned to the authors. The entire text of the article should be given as one file, named according to the name of the first author. To facilitate further operations with the files, one should use as few fonts as possible and format text as left aligned without word hyphenation. Carriage returns (Enter) should be used only to separate paragraphs, and special styles, templates, and macrocommands should be avoided.
Both scanned and computer-prepared black-and-white pictures are acceptable in electronic form. For halftone photographs (drawings) and line-art-type drawings, the TIFF, JPEG, or GIF formats are preferable. When preparing files in TIFF format, scanning should be performed with no less than 600 or 200 dpi resolution for halftone photographs (drawings) and line-art-type drawings, respectively. A separate file should correspond to each figure.
The contents of the manuscript and the electronic version must be absolutely identical. The accompanying letter should explain the content of all files, their formats, the coding for special symbols, etc.
EVALUATION OF MANUSCRIPTS AND THEIR PREPARATION FOR PUBLICATION
1. All articles submitted to the Editorial Board go through a two-step evaluation (the names of referees are not given to the authors of papers they have refereed). Papers accepted for publication are thoroughly edited. Minor corrections to the style, nomenclature, and form are introduced into the article without the author抯 consent. More significant improvements are to be agreed upon with the authors, or the manuscript can be returned to the authors for revision to accommodate the remarks of the referees and the scientific editor. The date of a paper抯 receipt is the date on which a version of the paper satisfying all the journal requirements is received. Revised articles returned to the Editorial Board after a time period of 6 or more months are registered as new ones with a new receipt date.
2. After publication, 5 copies of the Russian version of the article along with 2 copies of the English version are sent to the author.
3. The article can be declined by the Editorial Board for the following reasons:
(a) incompatibility with the profile of the journal,
(b) insufficient significance of the results,
(c) unclear formulation of the goals and objectives of the investigation,
(d) failure to meet the current procedures and state of knowledge in the field,
(e) insufficient substantiation of the conclusions in the literature and experimental material,
(f) the reported results have been previously published in detail by the authors of this article or by other researchers,
(g) substandard quality of the writing of the manuscript and/or failure to conform with the Guidelines for Authors.
4. In the case of a rejected article, the Editorial Office will send the author a notice of rejection, one copy of the manuscript, and the diskette.
5. Mail, phone [+7 (095) 330-7783], e-mail (rjbc@ibch.siobc.ras.ru), or fax +7 (095) 335-7103 (directed to the Editorial Office of Bioorganicheskaya Khimiya) can be used to communicate with the Bioorganic Chemistry Editorial Office.
