Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biomolecules will publish a special issue titled “Studies of Protein Dynamics Using Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy (FCS)”, showcasing the power of FCS in understanding protein dynamics and activities in living cells. The journal welcomes submissions that report progress in new microscopy and analysis software development, as well as the application of FCS methods in uncovering emerging biological phenomena.
- Specific areas of interest include evaluations of mainstream microscopes' suitability for various FCS methods;
- New software and plug-in developments for established or novel FCS techniques;
- Case studies that apply FCS to explore protein dynamics, interactions, and subcellular environments.
The journal aims to publish high-quality work; therefore, articles should be of sufficient importance to be of broad interest to both biologists and biophysicists, regardless of their specific fields. Please contact the editors with any queries regarding scope and suitability.
Submissions are due by 30 June 2025. In your cover letter, please indicate that your submission is intended for the Studies of Protein Dynamics Using Fluorescence Correlation Spectroscopy Special Issue. All articles will undergo peer review and will be held to Biomolecules' rigorous criteria for publication. Papers will be published online as they are accepted and will be compiled into the Special Issue once all have been processed. The Special Issue will be edited by Jieqiong Lou of the University of Melbourne
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Biomolecules is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2700 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.
