Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanopores have been shown to have a great impact as a biomolecule sensing technique at single molecule level since their invention. The ability to characterize submolecule information such as the size, charge, and shape of DNA and protein molecules, and DNA–protein complex in their native aqueous environment makes a nanopore device a unique and powerful tool for the advance of biological, life, and medical sciences.
The aim of this Special Issue is to provide a platform where relevant researchers from the various disciplines mentioned above can share their approaches, ideas, and opinions to explore this new horizon. We will invite both senior experts and young researchers to contribute. The Special Issue will cover a number of important and open topics related to nanopores, including polymer translocation, DNA nanopore analysis, protein nanopore analysis, and nanopore device fabrication.

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. Nanomaterials 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 2900 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.
