Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, there has been a great development of science and technology for NASs (nucleic acid substances of nucleic acids, nucleotides, and nucleosides), especially highlighted by the success of mRNA vaccines. Many new functions have been discovered for nucleic acids, such as circular RNA, circular ssDNA, and lncRNA, as well as other NASs. For example, circular RNAs have been found to regulate gene expression with many interesting pathways, and some nucleosides and nucleotides have been found to encompass nutritional and healthcare functions. On the other hand, many novel understandings of the relationship between their structures and functions are proposed, especially for left-handed DNA or RNA, quadruplex, triplex, R-loop, as well as the complex between NASs and other molecules such as proteins and carbohydrates. For this Special Issue entitled “Chemical Biology and Biotechnology of Nucleosides, Nucleotides, and Nucleic Acids”, the wide scope of research on NASs of either natural or artificially synthesized ones is welcome. We hope that these high-level research results can deepen our understanding of biomolecules and even life.

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.
