Information on Article Solicitation

Special Issue:
“Protein folding or molecular self-assembly over nanoscale surface”

Topic Editor: Kazushige Yokoyama

We intend to invite top researchers and authors to submit original research or comprehensive review articles for consideration for publication in a special issue in the AIMS Biophysics focusing on the self-assembly biologically or medically important molecules at nanoscale interfacial environments. The focused studies include but not limited to protein folding, aggregation, conformational change, energy transfer, catalytic reaction, oligomer formation, or characterization of reaction intermediates. The nanoscale interfacial environments are any nanomaterials such as nanoparticles, nano colloids, quantum dots, nano wires, nano micelles, or nano membranes. These articles will be published in AIMS Biophysics open access free of charge. Submitted papers should not have been previously published nor be currently under consideration for publication elsewhere. All manuscripts will be peer-reviewed before their acceptance for publication.

Please submit your manuscript to our online submission system: http://www.aimspress.com/aimsbpoa/ch/author/login.aspx

Submission due date: 15 May 2015.
