Molecules for Biotechnologies II
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In this extraordinary period, in which each of us has been doing our best to overcome the difficulties of the moment, and considering the attention that the biotechnology field has been receiving, we would like to announce a new Special Issue of Molecules entitled “Molecules for Biotechnologies II”. This Special Issue welcomes original papers and comprehensive reviews focused on, but not limited to, the design, synthesis, and biochemical characterization of molecules involved in biotechnological applications, such as the development of novel approaches for molecular biosensing in diagnostics and the obtainment of new biomaterials and drug delivery systems. Please refer to the list of keywords for further details.
