Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Proteins are essential building blocks of living organisms, and knowledge regarding their structure is crucial for understanding their function. In many cases, proteins have several relevant conformations, and a static structure cannot account for all their behavior. The number of known protein structures is growing rapidly, the number of deposited PDB structures has set a new record, and artificial intelligence has found its way into protein structure research in recent years. Disordered proteins and proteins participating in liquid–liquid phase separation showing dynamical behavior are also intensively researched. Understanding the structural dynamics of proteins can be challenging, but time-resolved experimental background and theoretical possibilities are also continuously developing. Computational power has significantly increased in the last decade and seems to be increasing further with orders of magnitude. As guest editors of the “Advances in Protein Dynamics” Special Issue of IJMS, we would like to invite you to contribute methodological or application papers related to protein dynamics.

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.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
