Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Since bioinformatics technology can accelerate the discovery of drug targets, the screening of compounds, and the drug design process through efficient data analysis and computational simulation, it can not only greatly improve the efficiency and success rate of research and development, but also reduce the cost and risk compared with traditional medicine research. However, the application of bioinformatics in medicine research still faces challenges such as the difficulty in simulating the complexity of biology, the low accuracy of the algorithms of AI prediction models, the lack of high-quality bioinformatics data, and the representation of data for drug design. Therefore, we call for contributions from researchers with diverse backgrounds (e.g., biology and pharmaceutical science) and practices in bioinformatics that aim to address some of the mentioned challenges and difficulties in this field, as well as tools, techniques, and application studies. Both research and review articles proposing novel innovations are welcome.
Prof. Dr. Le Zhang

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. 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.
