Molecular Modeling of Biological Systems
This special issue belongs to the section “Computational Biology“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue of Computation entitled Molecular Modelling of Biological Systems aims to showcase recent progress in the modelling of biological systems. This Special Issue is quite broad in its scope, and will cover topics such as:
- Kinetic modelling of biochemical systems;
- Stochastic modelling of biological processes at both micro and macro level;
- Agent-based models of biological systems such as those applied to the gut microbiome;
- Artificial neural network modelling of biological neural networks;
- Partial differential equation models and their application to areas such as atherosclerosis;
- Systems pharmacology models;
- Physiologically based kinetic (PBK) models;
- Petri net modelling of biological regulatory networks;
- Hybrid models—combining biochemical models with molecular models;
- Biosystems engineering;
- Flux-balance-based modelling;
- Systems biology.
Dr. Mark Tomás Mc Auley

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. Computation 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 1800 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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- Reprint: MDPI Books provides the opportunity to republish successful Special Issues in book format, both online and in print.
