Molecular Structure
A section of Molecules (ISSN 1420-3049).
Section Information
The Molecular Structure Section of the open access journal Molecules publishes original research articles, reviews, short communications, and invited perspective articles on all aspects of molecular structure, broadly defined as the study of condensed and gaseous states of matter in the form of molecules (as opposed to atoms, plasmas, or subatomic particles). We welcome manuscripts on fundamental and applied aspects of experimental, theoretical, or computational studies of molecular structure, including but not limited to the following topics:
Atomic force microscopy
Chemical bonding
Cryo-EM
Density functional theory (DFT)
Docking: ligand–receptor, protein–protein, protein–nucleic acid
Graph and network theory
Intrinsically disordered proteins
Mass spectrometry
Molecular clusters: e.g., boranes, carboranes, fullerenes
Molecular dynamics simulations: coarse-grained and atomistic
Molecular interferometry
Molecular similarity
Neutron diffraction
Powder diffraction
Protein structure prediction
Quantum chemistry
Spectroscopy: 2D-IR, IR, NMR, NQR, UV, Visible
SAR and QSAR
X-ray crystallography
Operando TEM
Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy
