Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
IJMS is celebrating its 25th anniversary, becoming an established and trusted journal that publishes scientific molecular research on chemistry, biochemistry, molecular cell biology, and medicine. On this occasion, the Macromolecules Section of the IJMS invites scholars active in research on the chemical, biological, and medicinal aspects of natural and synthetic macromolecules to contribute to the “25th Anniversary of IJMS: Updates and Advances in Macromolecules” Special Issue.
This Special Issue of the IJMS will cover the latest developments, advances, and applications of macromolecules in the fields of chemistry, biology, and medicine over recent decades. Contributions to this Special Issue are expected to address and decipher the key roles that biological macromolecules such as proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids play in processes essential to life, such as structural support, genetic information transfer, and energy storage. Due to their large and complex structures, both synthetically and naturally occurring macromolecules are frequently applied in healthcare chemistry as carriers in drug delivery and biomaterial engineering; contributions that address these topics are welcomed. Finally, macromolecules are seeing increasing interest as sustainable materials in circular chemistry. Research contributions that report on the design and development of biodegradable and eco-friendly macromolecular materials are encouraged to be submitted to this 25th anniversary Special Issue of the IJMS.

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.
