Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Protein folding is a crucial aspect of protein function and the protein structure. If the stabilized folding intermediate exists during the folding pathway, the characterization of the intermediate is also essential for estimating the function. This Special Issue welcomes the submission of articles offering an experimental methodology and predictions based on this sequence for the structural analysis of the large protein molecule at the intermediate between unfolded and folded states, kinetics and equilibrium. In order to analyze the folding state, dynamic studies on protein flexibility will be included. In addition, the intrinsically disordered protein will be analyzed in its native state in order to determine the residual structure.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
