Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Nanotechnologies have made significant advances in the area of medical and pharmacological applications. By using nanomaterials, researchers can develop and produce new drugs, medical devices, diagnostic tools, and treatments that are more precise and effective than ever before. Nanomaterials have enabled researchers to develop nanorobots and nanoparticles that can be used to detect, target, and treat diseases at the cellular level. Nanoparticles are also being used to deliver medications directly to cancer cells, and nanomaterials are being used to create more efficient drug delivery systems. Additionally, nanomaterials are being used to develop new technologies for medical imaging, such as MRI, CT scans, and ultrasounds, to diagnose diseases more accurately. By interacting with biological molecules, i.e., at the nanoscale, nanotechnology opens up a wide field for research and application. This Special Issue contains articles describing recent advances in proteomics to characterize such for medical and pharmacological applications.
Topics of this Special Issue include but are not limited to:
- Genomic/transcriptomics/proteomics;
- Peptides and peptidomimetic drugs;
- Glycopeptides;
- Imaging and analytical techniques;
- Peptide-based proteomics databases;
- New bioinformatics approaches for the integration of proteomic and transcriptomic datasets;
- Sample preparation for two-dimensional electrophoresis;
- Sample preparation for protein mass spectrometry;
- Enrichment for sub-proteomes;
- Organelle proteomics;
- Clinical applications of proteomics;
- Proteomics of non-model organisms;
- Nanotechnology applications for viral diseases;
- Materials for antimicrobial applications.

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.
