Feature Review Papers in Chemical Biology

Dear Colleagues,

In this Special Issue, ‘Feature Review Papers in Chemical Biology’, we aim to publish review articles within the field of Chemical Biology. While the definition of the field overlaps with medicinal and bioorganic chemistry, distinct aspects can be defined which earmark studies for this field at the interface of Chemistry and Biology. Molecules are used for interference with or visualize biological systems at the molecular level, which can lead to new insights into these systems and their biological mechanisms or provide tools for their manipulation. Studies must include bioactive synthesized or isolated compounds or probes to realize the above goals. Studies in which compounds are described that capture or detect specific components in a biological context are also of interest.

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.
