Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue highlights recent advancements in protein bioinformatics and covers various computational tasks, from phylogeny to structural predictions. In addition, we would like to welcome contributions from the peptide structure and function prediction field.
One of the side goals of this special issue is also to combat the reproducibility crisis that deeply permeates our field. New initiatives (e.g., Elofsson et al., 2019 or Walsh et al., 2021) clarify prerequisites for the reproducibility of bioinformatics tools. To help enforce this standard, all authors should refer their submitted manuscripts to a set of reproducibility guidelines appropriate to their field and point out how their software or analysis fulfills them. Aside from the scientific merit, the assessment of the study's reproducibility will also be a part of the review process.

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.
