Acta Crystallographica, Section D is devoted to "Biological Crystallography." Articles considered for this section cover both structural results and the development of new methods aimed at helping to solve and interpret such crystal structures. An overview of the contents of the journal to date will be presented.

All authors of macromolecular publications must submit atomic coordinates to the Protein Data Bank (Brookhaven), and provide a Brookhaven number prior to the final proof stage. Structure factors must also be deposited.

Various problems encountered by authors and editors will be described and the audience is encouraged to provide input on how to ensure high quality and general interest in the articles in this journal.
