The Illumination of Biophysical Mechanisms by Hydrogen Exchange: A Themed Issue in Honor of Professor S. Walter Englander

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce that Biomolecules will dedicate a Special Issue in honor of Professor Walter Englander in recognition of his seminal contributions to the development of the phenomenon of hydrogen exchange as a tool to investigate protein thermodynamics, dynamics, and function. Entitled “The illumination of biophysical mechanisms by hydrogen exchange,” this themed issue is intended to highlight the powerful capabilities of hydrogen exchange (HX) to reveal fundamental properties of proteins ranging from their stability, folding, dynamics, and function. Contributions are invited that focus on advancing or utilizing hydrogen exchange (HX) techniques in addressing inquiries about biomolecular structure, dynamics, and function. This call for submissions is specifically directed towards the protein biochemistry and biophysics communities. Contributions will be reviewed as usual; publication charges will apply. We ask that you provide your manuscript for review by the end of August 2024.

Prof. Dr. A. Joshua Wand
Guest Editor

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. Biomolecules 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.
