Protein Structure Research 2024

Dear Colleagues,

In recent years, new frontiers have opened up in protein structure research. Besides the traditional forms of proteins, such as folded water-soluble proteins, transmembrane- and membrane-associated proteins, and disordered proteins which are able to fold on the surface of folded proteins or other stable mac romolecules, new forms of proteins and protein complexes have emerged. Among others, fuzzy complexes in which, during physiological function, at least one protein component is still in disordered form; and mutual synergistic folding complexes, in which two or more disordered proteins help each other to fold, are new subclasses of proteins. Combinations of the above-mentioned proteins, such as partially disordered proteins or proteins participating in liquid–liquid phase separation, represent new forms of proteins. These all encompass new and interesting fields of protein structure research.

As the guest editors of this Special Issue of IJMS titled “Protein Structure Research 2024”, we would like to invite you to contribute a paper related to protein structures.

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.
