Lipases and Lipases Modification

Dear Colleagues,

Lipases are important catalysts that are able to function in both aqueous and solvent environments, making them particularly versatile for industrial applications such as the production of fine chemicals, biodiesel production and the formation of new food ingredients. Lipases are able to produce chiral products and can be reused multiple times if immobilised, making them cost effective. In this special issue, we aim to showcase the versatility of lipases as biocatalysts and encourage the submission of manuscripts that describe new uses of lipases, or technology that improves the utility of or mechanistic understanding of lipases as biocatalysts.

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.
