Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Carbohydrates, together with structural and energetic roles, have an important function as chemical information carriers. Due to the high number of structural features that carbohydrate molecules exhibit (alfa/beta stereochemistry, branch, and multiple linkages), it is not surprising that they have been used in nature as information-carrier molecules. Indeed, based on their structure, their ability to carry information is far greater than that of other biomolecules, and they have also been used in nature as key players in molecular recognition events.
As such, knowledge of their precise chemical structure and their interactions is essential for our understanding of many vital processes.

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. Molecules 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 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.
