Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The cytochrome P450 enzymes are important enzymes in biology with functions related to biosynthesis and biodegradation. They, for instance, are found in the liver, where they metabolize drugs and xenobiotics, while in plants and bacteria, they synthesize natural compounds for defense and signaling. There are still many questions related to the mechanism, structure, function, and reactivity of these enzymes; hence, a Special Issue covering highlights and new research and developments in the field is proposed. We invite submissions on cytochrome P450 research in its broadest form, covering its biology, structure, and reactivity, as well as applications related to biotechnology and bioengineering.
Dr. Samuel De Visser

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.
