Abstract
Marc van Regenmortel was the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Molecular Recognition for the last 25 years. Without attempting to summarize Marc's exceptional career and achievements, we would like to tell the story of the tortuous and contingent path to the unravelling of a key molecular recognition process in antigenicity. Life is indeed full of contingencies and scientific life, full of meetings and random encounters, is prone to contingencies, a key element in discovery and innovation.
Marc van Regenmortel 过去 25 年一直担任《分子识别杂志》的主编。我们不想对马克卓越的职业生涯和成就进行总结，只想讲述一个曲折而偶然的故事，揭示抗原性中一个关键的分子识别过程。生活确实充满了偶然，而科学生活也充满了偶然，充满了会议和随机相遇，容易出现偶然，这是发现和创新的关键因素。
期刊介绍：
Journal of Molecular Recognition (JMR) publishes original research papers and reviews describing substantial advances in our understanding of molecular recognition phenomena in life sciences, covering all aspects from biochemistry, molecular biology, medicine, and biophysics. The research may employ experimental, theoretical and/or computational approaches.
The focus of the journal is on recognition phenomena involving biomolecules and their biological / biochemical partners rather than on the recognition of metal ions or inorganic compounds. Molecular recognition involves non-covalent specific interactions between two or more biological molecules, molecular aggregates, cellular modules or organelles, as exemplified by receptor-ligand, antigen-antibody, nucleic acid-protein, sugar-lectin, to mention just a few of the possible interactions. The journal invites manuscripts that aim to achieve a complete description of molecular recognition mechanisms between well-characterized biomolecules in terms of structure, dynamics and biological activity. Such studies may help the future development of new drugs and vaccines, although the experimental testing of new drugs and vaccines falls outside the scope of the journal. Manuscripts that describe the application of standard approaches and techniques to design or model new molecular entities or to describe interactions between biomolecules, but do not provide new insights into molecular recognition processes will not be considered. Similarly, manuscripts involving biomolecules uncharacterized at the sequence level (e.g. calf thymus DNA) will not be considered.
