Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structure determines function. Due to the richness of sequence composition and the complexity of chemical bonds and forces between microscopic atoms and molecules, a variety of nucleic acid structures and their conformations have been discovered, which give the nucleic acid-specific recognition, stimulus response, assembly controllability, luminous properties, antibacterial properties, enzyme catalysis and other pluripotent. Additionally, the components and sequences of nucleic acids also provide these with programmability, tailoring, modifiability, and biocompatibility. Due to their special size effect, nanomaterials also show rich interfacial properties, enzyme-like activities, fluorescence and other forms of pluripotency. The cross-fusion of the two is of great significance for the co-detection of multiple types of food safety risk factors and nutritional efficacy factors, as well as the efficient, stable encapsulation and targeted delivery of food nutritional efficacy components. In addition, other new cross innovation fields and topics, such as bacteriostasis, imaging, diagnosis, and therapy are also very welcome for submission to this Special Issue.

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.
