Advances in Research of Short Peptides II

Dear Colleagues,

We are releasing a second edition of the Special Issue on “Advances in Research of Short Peptides”, and will provide new studies on these amazing molecules that show outstanding structural and functional variety, from proteins to small chemical compounds. In recent years, the interest in short peptides has been remarkable, as was reflected in the first edition of this Special Issue. The first edition comprised 26 informative articles regarding peptides in health and disease. The COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped diverse fields of science and biotechnologies that will have an influence on the unlimited possibilities and applications of short peptides in the future. We are witnessing an evolving growth in biomedicine and beyond, in which short peptides are key players. In this regard, Molecules is delighted to present cutting-edge discoveries, uses and progress of short peptides in this forthcoming second edition of this Special Issue.

Researchers from different fields from all over the world are invited to submit original experimental papers; theoretical uses of peptides; as well as reviews, communications, reports, and notes on short peptide (peptidomimetic)-based research topics.

We invite you to contribute to this Issue, and look forward to your valuable contributions.

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.
