Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement in techniques brings to the forefront the race to understand the functions and mechanisms of disease at a molecular level. Cutting-edge methods have been developed to solve challenging problems in biology. Atomic simulations, coarse-grained models, and other computational scenarios with experimental information have significantly accelerated scientific discoveries in biological as well as medical research and successfully implemented them to study health-related problems. This topic aims to bring researchers from multidisciplinary backgrounds together to share their expertise in diverse aspects of methods and applications of proteins and RNAs. The themes will be centered around computational methods in biological and medical research. This topic ranges from structure perdition/simulation, new computational methodologies, experiments, and platforms to facilitate data sharing to the applications of multi-omics approaches.

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. Life 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 2600 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.
