《蛋白质科学》（Protein Science）是一本涵盖蛋白质结构、功能及生化特性的同行评审学术期刊。Protein Science is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering the structure, function, and biochemical properties of proteins.
该期刊是蛋白质学会（The Protein Society）的官方出版物，由约翰威立父子公司出版。The journal serves as the official publication of The Protein Society and is published by John Wiley & Sons.
该期刊发表与蛋白质研究各个领域相关的原创研究论文、综述、简报以及理论研究成果。The journal publishes original research papers, reviews, short communications, and theoretical studies across all areas of protein research.
其报道重点包括蛋白质折叠、酶学机制、大分子组装以及蛋白质工程。Key areas of focus include protein folding, enzymatic mechanisms, macromolecular assembly, and protein engineering.
此外，该期刊还着重刊登结构生物学领域的突破，涵盖X射线晶体学、核磁共振波谱学和冷冻电镜等实验技术。Additionally, it highlights breakthroughs in structural biology, covering experimental techniques such as X-ray crystallography, NMR spectroscopy, and cryo-electron microscopy.
计算生物学、生物信息学和用于蛋白质设计与分析的算法开发也是其核心范围的一部分。Computational biology, bioinformatics, and algorithm development for protein design and analysis are also integral parts of its scope.
《蛋白质科学》于1992年创刊，旨在为蛋白质化学家与结构生物学家提供一个专门的交流论坛。Protein Science was established in 1992 to provide a dedicated forum for protein chemists and structural biologists.
该期刊最初由剑桥大学出版社代表蛋白质学会出版。The journal was initially published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of The Protein Society.
后来，该期刊的出版业务转由约翰威立父子公司负责。Publication of the journal was later transferred to John Wiley & Sons.
2008年，该期刊引入了预发表论文服务，以加快研究成果的传播速度。In 2008, the journal introduced a pre-publication service to accelerate the dissemination of research findings.
自2022年1月起，《蛋白质科学》转型为完全开放获取期刊，所有新发表的文章均可免费向全球公众开放阅读。In January 2022, Protein Science transitioned to a fully open-access journal, making all newly published articles freely accessible to readers worldwide.
著名生物化学家汉斯·诺伊拉特（Hans Neurath）是该期刊的创刊主编，并主持编务直至1998年。Renowned biochemist Hans Neurath served as the founding editor-in-chief of the journal, leading editorial operations until 1998.
生物化学家马克·赫莫德森（Mark Hermodson）随后接任主编一职，任期自1998年持续至2007年。Biochemist Mark Hermodson succeeded him as editor-in-chief, holding the position from 1998 through 2007.
结构生物学家布赖恩·马修斯（Brian Matthews）于2008年至2019年期间担任主编，在此期间进一步推动了结构蛋白质组学研究的刊载。Structural biologist Brian Matthews directed the journal as editor-in-chief from 2008 to 2019, expanding its coverage of structural proteomics.
约翰·库里扬（John Kuriyan）于2019年接任主编，继续引领该期刊在生物大分子机制与计算结构生物学方向的发展。John Kuriyan assumed the editorship in 2019, continuing to guide the journal's focus toward macromolecular mechanisms and computational structural biology.
