Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The study of (bio) molecules—including their detection, identification and structural characterization—is a fundamental objective across disciplines such as analytical chemistry, physics, and medicine. Scientists aim to observe the physical effects produced by individual molecules, as these effects reveal unique molecular properties that are often obscured when analyzing large ensembles due to averaging. We are seeking biosensors capable of detecting specific chemicals, combining a biological material or component with a physicochemical detector. The detector converts the signal resulting from the interaction of an analyte with a biological element into another signal that can be easily measured and quantified. Currently, there is significant interest in designing sensitive and specific biochemical nanosensors and protective layers. By selecting the right nano- and micro-structures as well as the right chemical elements, we can develop biosensors that are both biocompatible and selective. These biosensors interact with the target surface (at the solid/liquid interface) through adsorption and desorption processes. The interaction between biological and non-biological systems and metal surfaces is a key topic in biotechnology and biochemistry.

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.
