Biologically Active Recombinant Proteins

Dear Colleagues,

Functional protein molecules have good biocompatibility, degradability and versatility, and have great application value in the fields of medicine, military and textiles. Oriented by clinical needs, the design of protein molecules, cell factory construction, protein adaptation and regulation and protein material processing applications can be improved to achieve targeted enhancement of protein functions and industrial production. Endowing proteins with intelligent controllability and performance upgrades in the production process is, therefore, a research hotspot.

This Special Issue on “Biologically Active Recombinant Proteins”, therefore, will focus on innovative, original research articles and comprehensive reviews that reflect the latest developments in the field. Both fundamental research and applied areas are welcome.

Submissions suitable for consideration may include, but are not limited to:

1. Active peptides/protein biosynthesis research;
2. Cell factories for active protein production;
3. Protein purification and analysis;
4. Protein-engineered functional materials;
5. Construction and application of Bacterial-derived vectors for drug delivery;
6. Protein based nanostructures for drug delivery;
7. Peptide and protein nanotechnology.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Bioengineering 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 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.
