Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Enzymes are biological catalysts that play essential roles in various physiological and pathological processes. Their involvement in the regulation of metabolic pathways, signal transduction, gene expression, and epigenetic modifications underscores their indispensability. The molecular-level research of therapeutic target enzymes holds the potential to revolutionize the landscape of modern medicine. These enzymes, capable of modulating the activity or function of substrates, cofactors, or inhibitors, offer avenues for precision therapies and targeted drug design.
In this Special Issue, we invite original research articles and reviews that delve into the broad spectrum of molecular-level research on therapeutic target enzymes. Topics of interest encompass their structure, function, mechanism, regulation, interaction, and evolution. We also welcome studies examining the potential applications of therapeutic target enzymes in the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of various diseases, such as cancer, inflammation, infection, neurodegeneration, and metabolic disorders. The exploration of molecular-level research across multiple disciplines, including biochemistry, molecular biology, pharmacology, and medicinal chemistry, is highly encouraged. In addition, we actively seek submissions focusing on innovative technologies and methodologies employed in the molecular-level research of therapeutic target enzymes. This encompasses groundbreaking experimental approaches, advanced computational modeling, and high-throughput screening methods that augment our capacity to unravel the intricate molecular complexities of these critical biological entities. Our aspiration is that this Special Issue will offer a comprehensive and updated overview of the current state of the art and future directions in the dynamic field of molecular research of therapeutic target enzymes. We look forward to receiving your valuable contributions in advancing our understanding of these crucial components and their implications for the future of medical sciences.

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. International Journal of Molecular Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. There is an Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal. For details about the APC please see here. 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.
