Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The proteins are probably the most essential biomolecules for all life processes. In the last 20 years, huge progress with genomics, proteomics, and other OMICS has led to a deep understanding of most aspects of these important biomolecules. However, their study remains as fascinating as ever, because the exact functions of many proteins are not well understood, the regulatory processes and the interactions between proteins have been investigated in detail only recently, and the applications of this research have produced relevant results only in the last decade. These and other aspects related to molecular biology, regulation, structure, and function, as well as druggability of proteins, will be dealt with in this special issue of IJMS. Potential authors are invited to present their latest research in all these fields.

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.
