Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The purpose of this Special Issue is to demonstrate the new biological directions and insights coming from cryoEM studies of biological molecular complexes. In structural biology, using cryoEM technology to advance new concepts in biological areas and propose testable ideas by different methods will be the new frontier. This Special Issue will highlight a few directions, where technical advancement in cryoEM is used to exemplify its power in addressing urgent biological questions.

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.
