Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A plethora of applications of chemical and biochemical molecules, ranging from the medical use of small molecule drugs through complicated bio-vaccines to material design, cannot be achieved without a deep understanding of the processes involved in their preparation and action. This can be achieved nowadays via both experimental as well as theoretical studies. In this Special Issue, we would like to focus on the latest developments in the area of studying (bio)reaction mechanisms. Consequently, we look forward to collecting original research reports, as well as reviews of recent progress and perspectives from experts in the field.
Prof. Dr. Piotr Paneth
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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
