Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Molecular Dynamics Simulation (MD) has emerged as a key tool in the study of chemical and biomedical systems, fostering a new era of understanding and innovation. This special issue focuses on the remarkable progress and impact of MD simulations within these domains. Advances in MD simulations have revolutionized our comprehension of molecular-level processes in chemical and biomedical systems. These simulations have enabled researchers to unravel complex molecular interactions, predict protein structures, investigate drug binding mechanisms, and explore the behaviour of biomolecules in unprecedented detail. MD simulations have played a key role in the design of new drugs, in the development of materials for biomedicine, and the understanding of fundamental biological processes.
This special issue seeks to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers working at the intersection of molecular dynamics simulations and chemical and biomedical sciences. We invite you to submit your manuscripts, fostering a deeper understanding of molecular processes, by presenting novel MD simulation studies addressing critical questions in chemical and biomedical research, demonstrating significant insights into molecular mechanisms, validation of experimental data, or the discovery of new phenomena.
The manuscripts should focus on the development and improvement of MD simulation techniques tailored for chemical and biomedical applications, or present innovative algorithms, software tools, or hardware enhancements that enhance the accuracy and efficiency of MD simulations.
Articles highlighting the integration of MD simulations with other experimental and computational techniques, such as cryo-electron microscopy, X-ray crystallography, or quantum mechanics, are also encouraged. These contributions should demonstrate how MD simulations can complement and expand the scope of research in diverse scientific domains.
Comprehensive reviews summarizing the current state of the art in MD simulations applied to chemical and biomedical systems, are also desired. These articles should provide a synthesis of key findings, challenges, methodological advancements, opportunities and future directions, as well as the potential societal impact of MD simulations, serving as valuable references for other researchers.

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.
