Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue of Molecules is dedicated to the structural characterization of biomolecules through molecular spectroscopic techniques. The structures of biomolecules result from a subtle yet complex balance between many different intrinsic and environmental interactions. Therefore, a molecular level of characterization, interpretation, and knowledge of the different geometries adopted by biomolecules will advance our understanding of the chemical and physical processes involved, which is crucial to gaining insight into their biological functions. Molecular spectroscopic techniques have emerged as promising tools for unearthing the mystery of the structure–property relationship and are at the heart of modern molecular approaches to understanding complex biomolecular systems.
This Special Issue aims to provide a common platform for researchers to share their investigations and findings in the field of Molecular Spectroscopy. It will fulfill the lack of precise structural information on biomolecules and their structure–functionality connection by providing the latest challenges and developments in this promising field.

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.
