Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying antioxidant activity is crucial in developing novel therapeutic strategies and functional materials. Bioorganic molecules, including natural products, synthetic compounds, and biomimetic analogs, possess diverse structural features that contribute to their ability to neutralize reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. From electron donation to radical scavenging and metal chelation, these antioxidant actions are governed by intricate chemical principles that merit in-depth exploration. This Special Issue will highlight recent advances in elucidating the antioxidant mechanisms of bioorganic compounds, with a particular emphasis on structure–activity relationships, chemical kinetics, and mechanistic insights derived through both experimental and computational approaches. We invite contributions that explore how chemical modifications, molecular geometry, and reaction environments influence antioxidant behavior. We welcome oresearch and comprehensive review articles that will enhance our understanding of antioxidant mechanisms from a chemical standpoint.
We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions to this Special Issue.
Prof. Dr. Tatjana S. Radosavljević

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. Current Issues in Molecular Biology 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 2200 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.
