Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This special issue highlights the biologically important integration of biomolecular research, computational modeling, and drug delivery approaches. It seeks to reduce the gap between fundamental research into biomolecules and their development into clinically useful therapeutic agents. The articles in this issue will reveal the structure of the biological processes and pathologies mentioned above, along with the molecular structure that define them. The issue would include chemical simulations, cutting-edge computational methods for exploration of these molecular mechanisms, as well as the analyses to generate new therapy approaches. In addition to the above topics, the issue will cover the innovative drug delivery systems to maximize the bioavailability and specificity of the therapeutic agents. Some of the topics in this category will include strategies of bypassing the biological barriers and targeting of the drugs to a specific tissue or cell type. The special issue has been designed to cover a wide array of research fields to demonstrate the disruptive potential of holistic drug discovery and development. This issue will further emphasize that when a deep understanding of the biomolecules, their interactions and their specific delivery systems combine with the advanced computational tools, it will lead to a new era of life-saving treatments.

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.
