Functional Peptides and Their Interactions (3rd Edition)

Dear Colleagues,

We are delighted to invite you to participate in a Special Issue of Biomolecules, entitled 'Functional Peptides and Their Interactions (3rd Edition)'. This Special Issue seeks original research articles, reviews and short communications exploring the discovery, and structural and functional characterization of naturally occurring and engineered peptides and small proteins, including hormones, signaling peptides, regulatory peptides, immunomodulatory peptides, toxins and antimicrobial peptides.

Functional and structural studies that fall within the scope of this Special Issue include peptide docking, peptide binding analyses, peptide pharmacodynamics, and peptide pharmacokinetics, as well as peptide profiling and peptidomics. We especially welcome papers focusing on the interactions of functional peptides with other biological molecules, peptide receptors, cells and tissues. The scope of this Special Issue includes applications of peptides and peptide-based preparations as vaccines, molecular therapeutics, biocatalysts and biomaterials.

'Functional Peptides and Their Interactions (3rd Edition)' provides a forum for the global peptide community to communicate the latest developments in functional peptide research at the molecular, cellular and systems levels. Please join us in sharing with the scientific community your discoveries and other advances in peptide research, peptide engineering, peptide biotechnology and peptide applications.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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. Biomolecules 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.
