Bioorganic Chemistry in Asia

Dear Colleagues,

Bioorganic chemistry is emerging as a new field at the interface between chemistry and biology. As an interdisciplinary science, its scope covers multiple aspects, including enzyme catalysis, biotransformation and enzyme inhibition, nucleic acid chemistry, medicinal chemistry, natural product chemistry, biological probes, and bioorthogonal chemistry, among others. In recent years, some strategies in bioorganic chemistry have substantially facilitated the development of precision medicine, providing a more precise approach to the prevention, diagnosis, as well as treatment of human disease. In addition, some new concepts have also been conceived to tackle the undruggable targets (i.e., proteolysis-targeting chimeric molecules), with encouraging clinical results. In this Special Issue, we intend to gather significant studies in bioorganic chemistry and we welcome any topic as long as it falls under the field of bioorganic chemistry. We invite authors in Asia as well as other regions to contribute, and full articles, short communications, and reviews are all welcomed.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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.
