Peptide and Protein Metalation

Dear Colleagues,

A symposium titled “Peptide and Protein metalation” will be held in Naples, Italy, on 10–12 June 2025 (https://www.ppmnaples25.com/home). The symposium will bring together world-renowned scientists and be a great opportunity to discuss the latest advances in the field of the interaction between metal ions or metal complexes and peptides and proteins. Inspired by this congress, the International Journal of Molecular Science will publish a Special Issue celebrating this topic and, as Guest Editors, we would be glad to invite you to contribute with original, high-quality works. Communications, full papers, and review articles are encouraged for this Special Issue. All submissions will go through an impartial peer review process.

Submissions for this SI are open. The SI is due to be published in late 2026.

Prof. Dr. Antonello Merlino
Prof. Dr. Irene Russo Krauss
Dr. Giarita Ferraro
