Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A quarter century since their invention by Ronald Frank, peptide arrays now move into the focus of the life sciences. Three features make them very attractive for researchers from different fields: (1) they are suitable for high throughput analysis; (2) individual peptides allow a direct linkage to the proteome level, e.g., by revealing the pathogen an antibody is targeting; and (3) peptides fold into many different unique 3D structures that might help to advance also neighboring scientific fields, e.g., chemical catalysis.
This Special Issue will collate contributions on peptide array methodology, their biophysical and bioengineering applications, peptide array based studies of posttranslational modifications, protein–protein interactions, drug discovery and drug delivery.

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. BioTech is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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). 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.
