BMC Research Notes publishes 250th article
In October last year BMC Research Notes reached its 100th article milestone, only eight months after its launch. I am now delighted to announce that after a further eight months we have reached the 250th article landmark.
BMC Research Notes remains firmly within the top 10 BMC-series journals, in terms of both submissions and publications, and continues to attract the submission of valuable manuscripts that otherwise may have remained unpublished.
The 250th article, A comprehensive resource for integrating and displaying protein post-translational modifications, by Tzong-Yi Lee and colleagues, will also feature in our Databases Topical series, which is a collection of articles describing new or improved databases.
In this data note, Lee and colleagues present the implementation of dbPTM 2.0, a database of both experimentally verified and predicted post-translational modifications (PTMs). In its latest version the database integrates, in an enhanced web interface, tools to visualise PTMs in the context of the proteins' secondary and tertiary structure, structural properties of PTM sites such as solvent accessibility to substrate and information on the evolutionary conservation of these modifications.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank all authors, reviewers and committed Editorial Board Members who have been involved in the successful growth of BMC Research Notes. Our Editorial Board has played a significant role in developing the journal by investing their time and efforts into providing their expert advice, and we appreciate their continued dedication to this important and innovative journal.
We welcome readers’ feedback on the journal and its contents. If you have any questions about the journal and our editorial policies, or if you would like to be involved in the journal, as an author, reviewer, or Associate Editor, please do get in touch.
