Advances in Structural Virology via Cryo-EM

Dear Colleagues,

Recent advances in the technologies associated with cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) have brought forward a 'resolution revolution'. This revolution has been harnessed by the structural virology community and has yielded significant results that have impacted our fundamental understanding of virus structure, virus glycoprotein structure, processes of virus replication, and anti-viral and vaccine development.

This Special Issue of Viruses is dedicated to advances in cryo-EM based structural virology. We would like to assemble a collection of primary research papers and reviews that will highlight developments in the field of structural virology made possible by advances in cryo-EM instrumentation and methods. Topics may include all areas of structural virology, as well as novel cryo-EM strategies, used to determine the structures of viruses and virus–host interactions.

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. Viruses is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2600 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.
