Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The science of nutrition is becoming more and more vital to our understanding of almost all metabolic processes. Today, we see the impact of nutrients and foods on both physical and mental health; therefore, studies have emerged indicating the strong connections between our diet, gut health/the individual microbiome, and various diseases. The biological concepts can compromise our vision into the mechanisms by which diet influences our health and disease. To this extent, reinforcing the biochemistry of nutrition is essential to broaden our understanding of several aspects of human biology including cellular and molecular biology, physiology and medicinal chemistry. The biochemistry of nutrition is a multidisciplinary scientific area, including biology, chemistry, and physics, to a greater extent to cell metabolism, cell functioning, macronutrients, mental health illnesses and neurodevelopmental disorders, and other factors that contribute to the interplay between nutrients and disease.

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.
