Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Structural information at the atomic scale of macromolecules allows a precise understanding of the mechanisms underlying different types of biological system, including intermolecular interactions, intracellular interactions, and so on.
Knowledge of this information, as well as techniques capable of computationally simulating the movement of these macromolecules in their biological system, helps us to rationalize the mechanisms and understand how biological systems work.
This Special Issue welcomes papers using 3D molecular structure and/or virtual modeling techniques in computational biology, alone or in combination with in vitro or in vivo strategies. The aim of these techniques may be the prevention, discovery, characterization or therapy of diseases, including cancers, genetic diseases, or those related to viral or bacterial infections. We also welcome papers addressing 3D screening strategies, the design of new drugs and therapies and any original articles or comprehensive reviews related to molecular structure and simulation in biological system.

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. Biophysica is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly 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 1000 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.
