Manuscripts must have a significant element of novelty, timeliness and urgency that merit rapid publication. Reports of crystallization and preliminary structure determination of biologically important proteins are considered only if they include significant new approaches or deal with proteins of immediate importance, and preliminary structure determinations of biologically important proteins. Purely theoretical/review papers should provide new insight into the principles of protein/peptide structure and function. Manuscripts describing computational work should include some experimental data to provide confirmation of the results of calculations

Deutschland ist eine wirtschaftliche Hochleistungsgesellschaft, die viel für Reparatur und Kompensation gesundheitlicher Probleme ausgibt und wenig für ihre Verhütung. Prävention + Gesundheitsförderung ist das Organ für die Publikation von wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten über präventive Maßnahmen in folgenden gesellschaftlichen Bereichen:in Kindergärten und Schulen,in Unternehmen, Dienstleistungseinrichtungen und Verwaltungen,in Verbänden der Arbeitgeber und Gewerkschaften,im Staat mit seinen unterschiedlichen Gebietskörperschaften,bei den Trägern der sozialen Sicherung,im gesamten Gesundheitswesen mit allen seinen Einrichtungen,in Bildung und Wissenschaft.Hierbei werden die Arbeiten in vier Themengebiete mit den folgenden Kernaussagen unterteilt:Wissen schaffen für Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung Investition in Gesundheit statt Kuration und Kompensation Mehr Selbstverantwortung für Beschäftigte und Träger Innovatives Gesundheitsmanagement statt vorzeitiger Kuration bzw. Frühberentung Prävention + Gesundheitsförderung hat das Ziel, mit hochwertigen Arbeiten auch dazu beizutragen, dass Einrichtungen, die nachweisbar die Gesundheit der ihnen angehörenden Menschen fördern, dafür belohnt werden, diejenigen, die vermeidbare soziale Kosten erzeugen, entsprechend belastet werden., .
