Special Issue Information
Nanozymes are nanomaterials with intrinsic enzyme-like characteristics, and they have experienced a boom over the past decade because of their capability in addressing the limitations of natural enzymes, such as low stability, high cost, and difficulty of storage. Nanozyme activity can be modulated by altering their physicochemical properties, such as composition, size, morphology, crystal face, surface modification, valence, and active site. By combining unique physicochemical properties and enzyme-like catalytic activities, nanozymes can offer a variety of multifunctional platforms with a broad range of applications, from in vitro detection to in vivo monitoring and therapy. In this Special Issue, we will address the prospect of nanozyme research becoming "nanozymology", establish a corresponding structure-activity relationship theoretical model, design and synthesize highly active nanoenzymes, use machine learning to qualitatively and quantitatively assess the catalytic activity of nanomaterials and assist in the preparation of nano-enzyme libraries. The goal for this Research Topic is to cover all aspects related to recent research innovations in nanozymes.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
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.
