Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It has been said that “Molecular Electrochemistry” can be defined as “molecules for electrochemistry and electrochemistry for molecules”. In the era of almost unlimited possibilities in manufacturing materials of desired and carefully adjusted properties and an omnipresent tendency to downsize (bio)analytical devices, electrochemistry takes on new meaning. Considering such an approach, the electrode material not only plays the role of electron reservoir or sink but also the transformation of molecules triggered by electron transfer from or to an electrode and/or using molecules dispersed in the solution or attached to the electrode surface to accelerate and optimize an electrochemical reaction, makes capable of gaining in importance. As such, a mechanism could take place on a nanometer scale but with significant influence on the overall readout signal, making it an ideal candidate for detection element in any portable devices, especially when dedicated to molecular diagnostics in the POC mode.
This Special Issue of IJMS aims to focus on the application of electrochemical materials in molecular biology. We welcome submissions of research articles, comprehensive reviews, etc.

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.
