Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Proteins are the main agents of biological change. Their structural diversity is sufficient to accomplish the enormous array of chemical functionality required by living cells. Unlike the genome, the proteome (the complement of proteins under a given set of biological conditions) is a dynamic quantity which varies with variables such as cell cycle stage, cell specialization, pathology and nutritional status. Thus proteomics offers a robust set of high-throughput methods to explore changes in the quantity and status of specific proteins so as to reveal changes underlying key facets of biological functioning. Importantly, this is a discovery-driven, rather than a hypothesis-driven, approach with the potential to identify new processes not suspected a priori. This Special Issue will contain articles describing new advances in the science of proteomics.
Topics of this Special Issue include, but are not limited to:
- Sample preparation for two dimensional electrophoresis
- Sample preparation for protein mass spectrometry
- Enrichment for sub-proteomes
- Organelle proteomics
- Clinical applications of proteomics, such as biomarker discovery
- Environmental proteomics
- Proteomics in food science
- Proteomics of non-model organisms
- Proteomics databases
- New Bioinformatics approaches for proteomics datasets
- Use of protein arrays

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
