Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Modern biochemistry increasingly relies on sophisticated analytical methodologies to elucidate complex molecular mechanisms underlying health and disease. The convergence of analytical chemistry with biochemical applications has led to transformative advances in our ability to characterize biomolecules, quantify biomarkers, and validate therapeutic targets. This Special Issue explores cutting-edge analytical techniques that have become indispensable to contemporary biochemical research. Contemporary analytical methods—encompassing mass spectrometry, chromatographic approaches, spectroscopic techniques, and emerging hyphenated methodologies—enable unprecedented sensitivity and specificity in biomolecular characterization. These technologies facilitate investigation of diverse biochemical phenomena, from trace element analysis and metabolite profiling to protein characterization and biomarker discovery. This Special Issue welcomes original research, methodological innovations, and critical reviews addressing analytical applications across the field of biochemistry. Topics include, but are not limited to, (1) optimization and validation of separation and detection techniques; (2) development of novel bioanalytical methods for clinical diagnostics; (3) integration of analytical chemistry with omics approaches; (4) advancement of immunoassays and affinity-based techniques; (5) analytical strategies for challenging biological matrices; and (6) applications in pharmaceutical and nutritional biochemistry. We invite authors to submit contributions demonstrating how refined analytical approaches enhance our understanding of biochemical processes and drive progress in biomedical research and clinical practice.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
