Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Mass spectrometry has become the leading technology deployed in ‘omics’ studies due to its high sensitivity, specificity, speed and suitability for combination with other methods. During the last few decades, there have been many developments in various aspects of mass spectrometry, including ionization methods, new principles and technology in mass analysers, sample preparation methods and data analysis algorithms.
In this Special Issue on “Emerging Technologies in Biochemical Mass Spectrometry”, we want to highlight the breadth of research and applications of mass spectrometry in biochemistry with particular emphasis on lipidomics and proteomics in the diagnosis and explanation of the mechanisms of mental, neurodegradation and metabolic diseases as well as the imaging of proteins, lipids and metals in tissues and biological structures. We also encourage submissions of both primary research papers and reviews on any aspect of mass spectrometry relating to application, method and instrumentation development as well as bioinformatics.
Prof. Dr. Wojciech Piekoszewski
Guest Editor
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. 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.
