Molecular Recognition

This section of the International Journal of Molecular Sciences (IJMS) aims to rapidly publish contributions on all aspects of molecular, supramolecular and biological recognition. We encourage submission of manuscripts that provide novel and mechanistic insights and papers that report significant advances in the fields. Topics include, but are not limited to:

• Molecular probes and recognition
• Molecular assemblies
• Supramolecular systems
• Host–guest interactions
• Specific interaction between two or more molecules including hydrogen and halogen bonding, metal coordination, hydrophobic and van der Waals forces, π–π, electrostatic and/or electromagnetic interactions
• Bimolecular interactions such as protein–protein, nucleic acid–protein, DNA–protein, antigen–antibody, sugar–lectin, and RNA–ribosome interactions
• Chemical biology and advanced technical developments
