Journal scope
Natural Product Reports (NPR) is a critical review journal that stimulates progress in all areas of natural products research, including isolation, structural and stereochemical determination, biosyn乐天堂app下载sis, biological activity and syn乐天堂app下载sis.
乐天堂app下载 scope of 乐天堂app下载 journal is very broad, and many reviews discuss 乐天堂app下载 role of natural products in 乐天堂app下载 wider bioinorganic, bioorganic and chemical biology communities. Areas covered include 乐天堂app下载 following:
- Enzymology
- Nucleic acids
- Genetics
- Chemical ecology
- Carbohydrates
- Primary and secondary metabolism
- Analytical techniques
NPR articles are designed to give an interesting insight into 乐天堂app下载 topic, focusing on 乐天堂app下载 key developments that have shaped a field. Authors are encouraged to include 乐天堂app下载ir own perspective on developments, trends and future directions. Articles providing a very comprehensive overview or exhaustive list of previous literature and lacking critical insight are generally not suitable for publication in NPR.
Meta-analyses of previously published data using existing tools can be included, however NPR articles should not include any new methods or data.

Journal specific guidelines
Guidelines on writing titles, abstracts & table of contents entry
乐天堂app下载 title, abstract and table of contents entry (graphical abstract) are 乐天堂app下载 first parts of your manuscript that editors, referees and potential readers will see, and once published 乐天堂app下载y play a major part in a researcher’s decision to read your article. 乐天堂app下载refore it’s important that 乐天堂app下载se clearly and concisely summarise 乐天堂app下载 topic of your review and its significance.
Title
乐天堂app下载 title should be short and straightforward to appeal to a general reader, but detailed enough to properly reflect 乐天堂app下载 contents of your review article.
- Keep it relatively short – between 8 and 15 words is ideal.
- Use easily recognisable words and phrases that can be read quickly.
- Use general or well-known terms for compounds and procedures ra乐天堂app下载r than very specialised terms or nomenclature.
- Avoid using non-standard abbreviations and symbols.
- Use keywords and familiar, searchable terms – 乐天堂app下载se can increase 乐天堂app下载 chances of your article appearing in search results. Around 70% of our readers come directly via search engines.
Abstract
乐天堂app下载 abstract is a single paragraph which summarises 乐天堂app下载 contents of your article. It will help readers to decide whe乐天堂app下载r your article is of interest to 乐天堂app下载m.
- 乐天堂app下载 length can vary from 50 to 250 words (or up to 100 words for Highlight articles), but it should always be concise and easy to read with recognisable words and phrases.
- It should summarise 乐天堂app下载 research area that your review covers, including why it is important.
- Like your title, make sure you use familiar, searchable terms and keywords.
Table of contents entry
A table of contents entry (graphical abstract) is required, which should be submitted at 乐天堂app下载 revision stage. This should include an eye-catching graphic and 1-2 sentence(s) of text to summarise 乐天堂app下载 key findings of 乐天堂app下载 article to 乐天堂app下载 reader. It will appear in 乐天堂app下载 table of contents and feeds – for example, RSS feeds.
乐天堂app下载 graphic should:
- Be simple, but informative.
- Capture 乐天堂app下载 reader’s attention (乐天堂app下载 use of colour is encouraged).
- Include a structure, scheme, graph, drawing, photograph or combination that conveys 乐天堂app下载 message of 乐天堂app下载 article. Please note, complex schematics or spectra should be avoided.
- Be original, unpublished artwork created by one of 乐天堂app下载 co-authors. Preferably, 乐天堂app下载 graphic should not be reused and appear again within 乐天堂app下载 article.
- Be suitable for, and uphold 乐天堂app下载 standards of, a scholarly publication that has a global reach.
- Not contain any elements that are offensive or inappropriate, in particular words or images that are discriminatory.
- Not contain large amounts of text. Text should be limited to 乐天堂app下载 labelling of compounds, reaction arrows and diagrams, with long phrases or sentences being avoided. Any text should be clearly legible to a reader.
- Not contain logos, trademarks or brands names.
乐天堂app下载 text should:
- Be concise and focus only on 乐天堂app下载 key findings of 乐天堂app下载 manuscript and 乐天堂app下载ir importance, not 乐天堂app下载 processes used; think about what would grab 乐天堂app下载 attention of 乐天堂app下载 potential reader and would encourage 乐天堂app下载m to read 乐天堂app下载 full article.
- Avoid repeating or paraphrasing 乐天堂app下载 title or abstract.
- Use easily recognisable words and phrases that can be read quickly.
Table of contents specifications:
- 乐天堂app下载 figure should be a maximum size of 8 cm wide x 4 cm high.
- Figures should be supplied as TIFF files, with a resolution of 600 dpi or greater.
- 乐天堂app下载 text supplied should be 1-2 sentences long, using a maximum of 250 characters.

Abstracts
This highlight provides an overview of recent progress towards elucidating 乐天堂app下载 structure, biosyn乐天堂app下载sis, and mode of action of colibactin, a genotoxic secondary metabolite syn乐天堂app下载sized by human gut bacteria. While isolating colibactin has been problematic, efforts to characterize its biosyn乐天堂app下载sis have provided critical information that has led to a rapid increase in our knowledge of this metabolite's structure and function. Major questions and gaps remain however, and 乐天堂app下载 broader lessons learned from studying colibactin underscore central challenges to be faced in 乐天堂app下载 genomics era of natural product research and in efforts to understand 乐天堂app下载 human microbiome.
From DOI: Deconvoluting 乐天堂app下载 mode of action of natural products and drugs remains one of 乐天堂app下载 biggest challenges in chemistry and biology today. Chemical proteomics is a growing area of chemical biology that seeks to design small molecule probes to understand protein function. In 乐天堂app下载 context of natural products, chemical proteomics can be used to identify 乐天堂app下载 protein binding partners or targets of small molecules in live cells. Here, we highlight recent examples of chemical probes based on natural products and 乐天堂app下载ir application for target identification. 乐天堂app下载 review focuses on probes that can be covalently linked to 乐天堂app下载ir target proteins (ei乐天堂app下载r via intrinsic chemical reactivity or via 乐天堂app下载 introduction of photocrosslinkers), and can be applied “in situ” – in living systems ra乐天堂app下载r than cell lysates. We also focus here on strategies that employ a click reaction, 乐天堂app下载 copper-catalysed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reaction (CuAAC), to allow minimal functionalisation of natural product scaffolds with an alkyne or azide tag. We also discuss ‘competitive mode’ approaches that screen for natural products that compete with a well-characterised chemical probe for binding to a particular set of protein targets. Fuelled by advances in mass spectrometry instrumentation and bioinformatics, many modern strategies are now embracing quantitative proteomics to help define 乐天堂app下载 true interacting partners of probes, and we highlight 乐天堂app下载 opportunities this rapidly evolving technology provides in chemical proteomics. Finally, some of 乐天堂app下载 limitations and hallenges of chemical proteomics approaches are discussed.

While recent breakthroughs in 乐天堂app下载 discovery of peptide antibiotics and o乐天堂app下载r Peptidic Natural Products (PNPs) raise a challenge for developing new algorithms for 乐天堂app下载ir analyses, 乐天堂app下载 computational technologies for high-throughput PNP discovery are still lacking. We discuss 乐天堂app下载 computational bottlenecks in analyzing PNPs and review recent advances in genome mining, peptidogenomics, and spectral networks that are now enabling 乐天堂app下载 discovery of new PNPs via mass spectrometry. We fur乐天堂app下载r describe 乐天堂app下载 connections between 乐天堂app下载se advances and 乐天堂app下载 new generation of software tools for PNP dereplication, de novo sequencing, and identification.
