The Design of Protein-Based Catalysts

Dear Colleagues,

The present Special Issue aims to combine a group of articles devoted to the use of protein-based catalysts. Biocatalysis is unquestionably one of the major pillars of sustainable and green chemistry. Protein-based catalysts have numerous applications outside of biological systems. They are widely used in industry, medicine, and biotechnology. Additionally, scientists are actively researching and engineering new enzymes with enhanced catalytic properties for specific applications.

Articles devoted to all applications of proteins-based catalysts in the most distinguished fields in the form of original research papers, review articles, and short communications are welcome.

If you would like to submit papers to this Special Issue or have any questions, please contact the in-house editor, Dr. Duangkamon Phuakkhaw ([email protected]).

Dr. Jennifer Noro
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. Catalysts 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 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.
