Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of the journal IJMS entitled “Recent Advances in Applied Bioinorganic Chemistry" will cover a selection of recent research and review articles in the field. Bioinorganic Chemistry has important applications in various areas, including catalysis, energy, and medicine. More specifically, the applications of Bioinorganic Chemistry include (i) drug design and development (cancer, Alzheimer's, HIV, etc.); (ii) catalysis (metalloenzymes, etc.); (iii) materials science (biomimetic materials, sensing, drug delivery, etc.); (iv) environmental science; (v) agriculture (fertilizers, pesticides, etc.); (vi) forensics (spectroscopic and analytical techniques); (vii) imaging: (MRI, XAS, etc.); (viii) biotechnology (biosensors, etc.); (ix) energy conversion.
The issue will feature original research articles, reviews, and perspectives. Moreover, the research in this field brings together stakeholders from different disciplines, such as chemists, biologists, pharmacists, etc. The readers of this Special Issue will gain an appreciation of the evolution of applications in bioinorganic chemistry.

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.
