Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The mechanisms of pathogenesis are still not fully understood for many diseases. Protein modifications are involved in various disorders wherein the protein structure and function are affected. These modifications could be very important as the cause or consequence (or both) of pathological processes, especially if the targeted proteins are of pivotal importance.
Important protein modifications such as phosphorylation, ubiquitination, methylation and acylation are relatively well-studied. Nevertheless, these and other types of modifications, including oxidation, alkylation and others, which could be involved in tune bioregulation, are of high interest and are currently under extensive study.
The discovery of new modifications or new features of known posttranslational protein modifications could advance our understanding of diseases and lead to the proposal of new therapeutic strategies.

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.
