Computational Insights into Protein Engineering and Molecular Design

Dear Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce a call for papers for a forthcoming Special Issue of Molecules, entitled "Computational Insights into Protein Engineering and Molecular Design". As computational biology is taking on an ever-increasingly important role in the broader field of biology, this Special Issue aims to showcase the latest advancements and innovative approaches in the applications of computational methods to protein engineering and molecular design. We invite researchers and practitioners from academia and industry to contribute their original research articles as well as review articles that explore new dimensions and methodologies in this dynamic field. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, machine learning and AI applications in protein design; computational methods in enzyme engineering; molecular dynamic simulation studies of biomolecular systems; advances in computational docking and drug design; design and development of novel proteins with enhanced functionalities; and case studies as well as applications of computational tools in biotechnology and pharmaceuticals.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
