(Macro)molecules form History to Future as Revealed by Mass Spectrometry
This special issue belongs to the section “Analytical Chemistry“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The development of analytical methods for identification and structure analyses of molecules possessing a wide range of molecular weights is currently possible due to the use of mass spectrometry (MS) with soft ionization techniques. These techniques are widely used in analytical chemistry, starting from cultural heritage preservation to natural and synthetic polymer science.
This Special Issue is dedicated to the recent advances in MS structural studies of natural and synthetic (macro)molecules with a desired set of properties to match the various requirements of specific applications. Reviews, full papers, and short communications highlighting the current trends in this area are expected. Contributions devoted to the application of hyphenated techniques are also welcome.

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.
