Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In the 21st century, accompanied by the continuous development of industrialization, urbanization, and globalization, both analytical and bioanalytical chemistry with the molecular science of interaction and recognition play important roles and have shown obvious evolution in various fields and achieved remarkable advances in recent years, as evidenced by many state-of-the-art research practices.
In order to tackle the great challenges of food security, public health, and environment preservation, this Special Issue will include both well-drafted review and research manuscripts related but not limited to high-performance gas/liquid chromatographic technologies hyphenated with high-resolution mass spectrometry, targeted or non-targeted proteomic/metabonomic profiling, antibody- or aptamer-based rapid assay, microfluidic/nanofluidic analysis, novel molecular detection technologies, and highly sensitive analytical or bioanalytical sensors.
This Special Issue will broadly cover analytical targets that are biomarkers for medical diagnosis, pharmaceuticals for disease control, doping drugs, residual agrochemicals, natural toxins, traditional and novel environmental contaminants, pathogenic food contaminants, illegal food adulterants, food allergens, GMOs, and microbial pathogens, etc.
In addition, to better ensure the quality of analysis and risk management, analytically related research on proficiency test practices, preparations of reference materials with material certification or value assignment efforts, and risk analysis/assessment attempts for certain deleterious analytes or metabolites are also welcome.
The aim of this Special Issue is to not only present a general overview of the most advanced analytical schemes for analyzing and identifying analyte molecules or risk factors but also to outline the current research trends in various analytical domains. The Special Issue will help to acquaint the molecular science community with cutting-edge analytical principles and approaches thereof.

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. 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.
