Molecular Dynamics from Macromolecule to Small Molecules

Dear colleagues,

Macromolecules and small molecules exhibit certain structural conformation in chemical, biological and physical reactions or specific environments. Observing the structural changes of these molecules has become an important research area for the deeper understanding of target molecules. To observe structural dynamics, various techniques such as spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, electron microscopy, and computer-based molecular dynamics are applied. These techniques provide collection of several different static structural information to provide insights into the dynamics of a molecule, or structural information at certain time-delay through time-resolved studies. These observations of structural changes not only provide fundamental information to understand the molecular mechanisms, but also to provide insight into industrial and medical applications. 

This Special Issue covers comprehensive topics such as theory, technology development, and original research for molecular dynamics, and is intended to contribute to the molecular dynamics research community. I warmly welcome your contributions to this Special Issue on “Molecular dynamics from macromolecule to small molecules.”

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-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.
