Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The marine environment provides a rich source of bioactive compounds which could be efficiently applied in various industries, benefiting the shift towards environmentally sustainable green sectors, environmental protection, and the balanced use of natural resources. Proteomic studies assess all proteins produced in organisms, differential gene expression, and its impact on proteomics profiles, as well as proteins’ activity, stability, degradation, modification, interactions, and their effect on metabolic pathways. Wide-ranging aspects of proteomics research are emerging, including modern technologies implementing artificial intelligence (AI)-based methods. The extension of knowledge regarding proteomics facilitates a better understanding of the bioactive capacities of bioproducts found in aquatic species and is especially important in the field of medical research, which urgently requires new and improved drug therapies.
We would like to invite scientists to submit their high-quality studies, including novel research and review articles addressing proteomics research, to this Special Issue of Marine Drugs in relation to the following topics:
- Protein expression profiling and the influence of differential gene expression;
- Proteome mining for the identification of biological target molecules;
- Post-translational modification of proteins and impact on the function;
- Functional proteomics, including protein production, degradation, and/or stability;
- Structural proteomics and protein–protein interactions.

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. Marine Drugs 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 2900 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.
