Application of NMR Spectroscopy in Biomolecules
This special issue belongs to the section "Molecular Biophysics".
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a powerful biophysical technique for studying the structure, dynamics, folding mechanisms, and interactions of biomolecules at an atomic resolution. This Special Issue is dedicated to new advances in the technical developments and applications of solution and solid-state NMR methodologies in biology, pathology, and pharmacology covering structural biology (i.e., proteins, peptides, nucleic acids and carbohydrates, membrane proteins and lipids); biomolecules interactions (i.e., protein–protein; protein–DNA, antigen–antibody), folding and disordered proteins; conformational dynamics; molecular mechanisms underlying disease progression; structural and dynamical features of biomolecules in cellular environments; and pharmaceutical applications (i.e., structure/fragment-based drug discovery and metabolomics). In this regard, I would be very pleasured if you would agree to contribute to this Special Issue either with an original research article, a short communication, or a review.
I am also more than honored to announce that the Topical Advisory Panel Member Dr. Gianluca D'Abrosca (from University of Foggia, Italy) will be participating in this Special Issue.
Dr. Luigi Russo
Guest Editor
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-anonymized 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.
