Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Applied Sciences aims to collect relevant scientific contributions in these branches of chemistry, covering a wide range of areas, from human health sciences to energy. The ongoing challenges of our time to improve synthetic techniques and methodologies in order to obtain more environmentally friendly procedures, as well as the emergence of diseases resistant to current drug therapies and poorly investigated diseases, require numerous efforts by the scientific community. Thus, research on novel reactions, bioreactors, or biocatalysts and their optimization; the identification of new targets; the development of novel or optimized molecules (via computer-aided drug design techniques); and innovative delivery systems are important for developing more potent and safe tools.
