bibliographiesbibtex

My code:

\bibliographystyle{nature_style}
\bibliography{bibliography_3}

    @Article{Holzhauser2013,
  author  = {Holzhauser, Carolin and Liebl, Renate and Goepferich, Achim and 
Wagenknecht, Hans-Achim and Breunig, Miriam},
  title   = {RNA “Traffic Lights”: An Analytical Tool to Monitor siRNA 
Integrity},
  journal = {ACS Chem. Biol.},
  year    = {2013},
  volume  = {8},
  pages   = {890-894},
}

Here my bst code:

% version = 1.09 of nature.bst 1999 July 26

% 1991 July 3  last name first 
%              bold face volume numbers
%              volume followed by comma, not colon
%              parenthesis around year
%              no comma after page numbers (not done yet!)
% 1991 Aug 7   Titles removed in FUNCTION {format.title}.
%              (Should put \nocite{TitlesOn}
%              mechanism in from jmb.bst next)
% 1991 Aug 29  in inproceedings, book title preceeds the editors!!
% 1991 Aug 30  year at end of inproceedings
%              no 'pages' in inproceedings
%              when no comma, don't put space instead
% 1992 Aug 18  no comma between note and date in unpublished references
% 1998 May 12  titles added BACK to format.title
% 1998 June 2  titles of books are not italic

% 1999 July 24 Now Nature *wants* titles of books to be italic!!!

% 1999 July 26: added comma in front of month

Based on your other questions I created the following MWE (please add always an simular MWE to your next questions, then it is easier to help you!):

\RequirePackage{filecontents}
\begin{filecontents}{\jobname.bib}
@incollection{Schwechheimer2016,
  author       = "Schwechheimer, Christian and Merkel, Marcus
                  and Bohl{\"a}nder, Peggy R and Wagenknecht,
                  Hans-Achim",
  title        = "Synthetic Wavelength-Shifting Fluorescent
                  Probes of Nucleic Acids",
  pages        = "83-100",
  publisher    = "Springer",
  address      = "Cham",
  year         = "2016",
  editor       = "Nakatani, Kazuhiko and Tor, Yitzhak",
  volume       = "31",
  isbn         = "978-3-319-27111-8",
  booktitle    = "Modified Nucleic Acids",
  doi          = "10.1007/978-3-319-27111-8_4",
  url          = "http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-27111-8_4",
}
@Article{Holzhauser2013,
  author  = {Holzhauser, Carolin and Liebl, Renate and Goepferich, Achim 
             and Wagenknecht, Hans-Achim and Breunig, Miriam},
  title   = {RNA “Traffic Lights”: An Analytical Tool to Monitor 
             siRNA Integrity},
  journal = {ACS Chem. Biol.},
  year    = {2013},
  volume  = {8},
  pages   = {890-894},
}
\end{filecontents}


\documentclass{scrbook} 

\begin{document}

text \cite{Holzhauser2013} text \nocite{*}

\bibliographystyle{mynature_style} % nature_style % to use changed bst file!
\bibliography{\jobname} % to use the created bib file by filecontents
\end{document}

Copy file nature_style.bst to mynature_style.bst. After changing FUNCTION {format.vol.num.pages} in file mynature_style as mentioned in a comment by @Johannes_B to:

FUNCTION {format.vol.num.pages}
%{ volume field.or.null TDS
{ "{ \textbf{ " volume "}}" * * field.or.null  % make volume bold face
  number empty$
    'skip$
    {                                   %"(" number * ")" * * for the case you need issue number
      volume empty$
        { "there's a number but no volume in " cite$ * warning$ }
        'skip$
      if$
    }
  if$
  pages empty$
    'skip$
    { duplicate$ empty$
        { pop$ format.pages }
%        { ":" * pages n.dashify * } % TDS
        { ", " * pages n.dashify * } % comma, not colon TDS
      if$
    }
  if$
}

you will get the result you need. But be sure you are allowed to use the file nature_style.bst.

The result is:
