Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In recent years, we have observed an extremely dynamic increase in interest in interdisciplinary research, in which chemistry is an integral and often leading part of research. The results of interdisciplinary research in the field of new materials engineering and predicting the properties of biochemical systems are not only cognitively fascinating but also promising in the context of potential applications. In particular, a design of new materials that can serve as energy storage media or light sources is in the area of interest of the largest scientific agencies, reflecting the needs of modern society. On the other hand, the biol–chem–med three-way marriage requires studying and effectively predicting the biomolecular structure as a useful source of information about molecules and their roles in living organisms. It is an important step on the ladder that we climb together to answer important questions, in particular about diseases that we would like to prevent and treat.
In this Special Issue, we will focus on presenting current research trends and reviewing the possibilities of modern science in the area of “Functional Materials Engineering and Biomolecular Structure”.
Please note that all of the submitted papers must be within the general scope of the Symmetry journal.
Prof. Robert Wieczorek

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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
