Interests: conformational behavior of cyclic and acyclic molecules studied based on low-temperature 1H and 13C NMR spectra; extending capabilities of NMR spectroscopy in the study of oligopeptides using residual dipolar couplings; structural studies of bioorganic compounds in solutions and in complex with model biological membranes
Interests: structure and conformational dynamics of small organic molecules (drug compounds, peptides), revealed by different approaches of NMR spectroscopy (NOE, diffusion, RDC) and molecular dynamics simulation
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, titled “Interactions and Structural Details of Biomembranes Revealed by Magnetic Resonance”, aims to explore the interactions between molecules and the structural details of biological membranes by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) or electron-spin resonance (ESR). It will focus on the use of NMR and/or ESR to study the structures, dynamics, and interactions of biomembranes both in vitro and in vivo. We invite researchers to submit original research articles as well as review articles that explore the use of magnetic resonance to study the structure, dynamics, and structure-related activity of molecules in biomembranes. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- The NMR-based characterization of membrane proteins;
- NMR-based studies of membrane-associated proteins;
- NMR- or ESR-based studies of interaction between lipid membrane with small molecules;
- The investigation of membrane lipids and their interactions.
Thus, this Special Issue titled “Interactions and Structural Details of Biomembranes Revealed by Magnetic Resonance” will provide a platform for researchers to share their latest findings and discuss the potential of ESR and high-resolution or solid-state NMR spectroscopy in elucidatingr the structure, dynamics, and interactions of biomembranes.
We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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. Membranes 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.
