Molecular Recognition and Sensors, Including Molecular Imprinting

Submission

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. Papers will be published continuously (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as 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 refereed through a peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sensors 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 1600 CHF (Swiss Francs).

• Molecular complementarity and complementarity rule: host and guest interaction, hydrogen bonding, metal coordination, electrostatic effects; receptor-ligand, antigen-antibody, DNA-protein, sugar-lectin, RNA-ribosome; ‘key–lock’ interactions
• Molecular similarity and similarity rule: hydrophobic forces, pi-pi interactions, etc.
• Supramolecular systems; imprinted polymers; chemoenzymatic systems; molecular biomimetics; DNA-based nanodevices; aptamers; molecular beacons; antigens; synthetic ion channels and pores; nanopores and nanotubes; organic-inorganic hybrid materials; supramolecular assemblies; metal-dye complexes; high-affinity chelators; self-assembled monolayers; cavitands including cyclodextrins, calixarenes and cucurbiturils; artificial receptors
• Chiral discrimination and enantioselectivity; selective recognition of anions, cations and small molecules, etc.
