Simulational and Computational Approaches to Enhance Protein Inhibitor Designs

Dear Colleagues,

Protein inhibitors‘ (which include small compounds, proteins, peptides, and antibodies) interactions with drug targets commonly involve the surface of the protein inhibitor or a complex of proteins that can potentially be disrupted or stabilized by small compounds, proteins, peptides, or antibodies that penetrate the cell. This is in contrast to small compounds, proteins, peptides, or antibodies‘ target proteins, whose activity can be measured in a biophysical, biochemical, or theoretical assay. Due to the growing interest in this field, this Special Issue aims to publish high-quality original research papers on the experimental and theoretical applications of protein–inhibitor interactions.

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.
