Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structural biology is the study of the three-dimensional structures of biological macromolecules (such as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, etc.) and how these structures are related to biological functions. It provides critical insights into the molecular architecture of biological macromolecules and their complexes.
We are pleased to invite you to submit papers to this Special Issue of Applied Sciences, which aims to present the latest technical advancements in structural biology that provide deeper insights and help scholars understand complex biological processes.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Macromolecular crystallography;
- CryoEM;
- Computational modeling using molecular dynamics (MD), density functional theory (DFT), and machine learning (ML);
- Modern and high-throughput data collection and analysis.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.
Dr. Yang Ha
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
