Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the light of the omnipresence of nonionizing electromagnetic fields (EMFs), both indoors and outdoors, the human population is increasingly exposed to this new source of pollution. Given the divided opinions among scientists regarding their effects on human health and ecosystems, it is not yet possible to draw unequivocal conclusions about the impact of EMFs. Research focused on the interaction of external EMFs with different biomolecules may, however, provide answers at the molecular level.
This Special issue will focus on the effects of EMFs (ranging from extremely low frequencies to the THz domain) on carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids (desoxiribo and ribo), and lipids. Experimental, theoretical, and bibliometric studies are welcome. The interaction of artificial EMFs with biomolecules such as amyloid-β peptide, serum ferritin, and proteins, and DNA has already been shown to induce various changes. Therefore, comprehensive analyses and discussions on the interactions between EMFs and biomolecules are timely and needed.

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.
