Advances in Protein Crystallization and Crystallography

Dear Colleagues, 

The crystallization of biological macromolecules is still poorly understood and, as a consequence, the success of common trial-and-error experiments is not very predictable. On the other hand, more rational approaches have been developed in the past years, and prospects for the science are in fact good. The topics of the Special Issue are aimed to cover all aspects of biological crystallization and crystallography from basic research on nucleation and crystal growth, to practical developments in crystallization methods and also advanced approaches and new protein crystal structures. New trends and methodologies as well as other structural methods will be encouraged.

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. Crystals 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 2100 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.
