Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce this Special Issue, “Feature Papers in Bioinorganic Chemistry 2025”, which will be published in an open access format. It seeks to compile high-quality papers (original research articles or comprehensive review papers), written by prominent scholars invited by the Editorial Office and Guest Editors.
The objective of this Special Issue is to discuss new research or innovations in bioinorganic chemistry through selected works, hoping to contribute significant findings to the field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: the structures, functions and mechanisms of metalloenzymes; the use of modern methods to determine their structure; the synthesis and characterization of transition metal complexes as model systems mimicking the structure, spectroscopic properties and function of biomolecules; and theoretical simulations. We also aim to cover the role of metal ions in biology and medicine; the interaction of metal ions and small molecules that contain them with biological molecules; and metal-based drugs and their mechanisms of action.

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. Inorganics is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2200 CHF (Swiss Francs). 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.
