Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The regulation of metabolic pathways and the associated signal transduction has received immense therapeutic importance due to their key role in major neural disorders and tumor regulations and onco-metabolism. Furthermore, the metabolic pathways and signal transduction are entirely regulated through interactions of small bio-ligands, signaling molecules, neurotransmitters with receptors, proteins, and membrane bilayer proteins. The complete understanding of these interactions, their binding mode, and their associated biological function are dependent on how good we establish or understand the structure–activity relationship that actually helps in comprehension of these biological functions. Computational structural and molecular biology has emerged as an interdisciplinary discipline in combination with theoretical and computational chemistry and biophysics to explore the biological functions at molecular and atomistic levels. Since I have been working in the quoted areas with my colleague Dr. Khair Bux, thus, it would be a great pleasure to work as the Guest editor for this Special Issue of IJMS. I am very hopeful that my contribution will be quality-oriented and will help IJMS to report quality research in this discipline in the future.
Prof. Dr. Ralf Herwig
Guest Editor
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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
