Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Bio-orthogonal chemistry refers to chemical reactions that can occur in biological systems without interfering with endogenous biochemical processes. Bio-orthogonal reactions have been applied to image biomolecules such as glycans, proteins, DNA, RNA, and lipids in vivo. This Special Issue aims to illustrate the recent and pertinent developments in bio-orthogonal reactions and their promising applications for imaging live-cell and animal studies. Both research papers and reviews are welcome.

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.
