Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal-organic frameworks are one of the trending research areas in biomedical-research-based applications that are thriving through a common key known as enzymes. The combination of nanocomposites with metal-organic frameworks will open up paths for novel research that can make use of enzymes and enzyme immobilization for various applications, including therapeutics, pharmaceuticals, biosensing, targeted drug delivery, drug discovery, bioimaging, theranostics, and the screening and detection of various disease conditions.
Their unique features, stability, specificity, tunability, and manipulative nature makes nanocomposite–metal organic framework hybrids an advanced technology in the field of medical research, medical industries, and wastewater treatment. This issue focuses on novel nanocomposite–MOF hybrid materials, their characterization, catalytic studies, efficiency studies, along with various biomedical industries, the wastewater treatment sector, and research-based applications, including enzyme immobilization, doping, and multi-stimuli responsive nature.
This Special Issue aims to attract researchers actively working in the development of nanomaterials and their application in the biomedical area of biotechnology and environmental applications (e.g., wastewater treatment). We cordially invite researchers to contribute their original research work and review based on the theme areas.

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. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly 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 2700 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.
