Journal of Glycomics and Metabolism
Advancing molecular understanding of glycan structure, biosynthesis, and metabolic regulation through rigorous peer-reviewed research
JGM maintains a rigorous focus on molecular mechanisms and cellular processes that govern glycan biosynthesis and metabolic regulation. We seek manuscripts that employ biochemical, genetic, structural, and computational approaches to dissect molecular phenomena from the subcellular to the systems level.
Our editorial board curates submissions across interconnected domains of glycobiology and metabolism, always anchored in molecular mechanisms:
Molecular characterization of glycan structures, biosynthetic enzyme mechanisms, glycosyltransferase regulation, and glycan assembly pathways.
Proteome-wide glycosylation mapping, mass spectrometry-based glycan profiling, site-specific glycosylation analysis, and glycan-protein interaction networks.
N-glycosylation and O-glycosylation pathway regulation, quality control mechanisms, ER-Golgi trafficking, and post-translational modification crosstalk.
Central carbon metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis, nucleotide metabolism, metabolic flux analysis, and transcriptional/post-transcriptional control of metabolic genes.
Mass spectrometry-based metabolite quantification, NMR spectroscopy, isotope tracing, metabolic fingerprinting, and computational metabolomics.
Molecular mechanisms of nutrient detection, signal transduction cascades, transcription factor activation, and metabolic adaptation at the cellular level.
Glycan-mediated cell signaling, lectin-glycan recognition, glycan roles in protein folding, and membrane glycocalyx structure-function relationships.
Rational design of glycosylation pathways, CRISPR-based metabolic pathway reconstruction, synthetic glycobiology, and engineered biosynthetic systems.
Identification of glycan-binding proteins, metabolic enzyme inhibitors, structure-based design of molecular probes, and target validation assays.
Integrative omics analysis, network modeling of glycan-metabolism interactions, computational pathway prediction, and machine learning applications.
JGM welcomes manuscripts employing cutting-edge analytical and experimental approaches that advance technical capabilities in glycomics and metabolomics research:
