Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Biophysical chemistry is a truly interdisciplinary endeavour combining the principles of physics, biology, and chemistry to explore the processes in biological systems and their underlying physical and chemical properties. The focus is on understanding how biological molecules, such as proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids, interact with each other and with their environment at a molecular level. Thus, biomolecular interactions are a fundamental part of biophysical chemistry. We aim to publish important and exciting studies on protein–protein, protein–DNA, protein–ligand, and receptor–ligand interactions in this Special Issue. Furthermore, manuscripts on biomolecular structure and function, protein folding, and stability are welcome. Publications on innovations in biophysical techniques facilitating further progress in this prominent field of research would, likewise, be appreciated.
This Special Issue is supervised by Dr. Ivo Crnolatac and assisted by our Topical Advisory Panel Member Dr. Rajendra Rohokale (University of Florida).

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.
