Overview
About the Journal
Letters in Basic and Translational Biochemistry (LBTB) is an international, peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by Aperture Papers. The journal welcomes original research, concise reports, and methodological contributions across biochemistry and molecular biology, with particular interest in work that links fundamental mechanism to translational outcomes — including enzymology, metabolism, protein chemistry, molecular and cellular biochemistry, and mechanism-based studies relevant to health, disease, diagnostics, therapeutics, and biotechnology.
LBTB is intended for academic researchers, postdoctoral scientists, clinician-investigators, and graduate students whose work advances biochemical understanding or its translational application. All manuscripts are evaluated under a double-blind review process and, on acceptance, published under a CC BY 4.0 licence with authors retaining copyright.
