Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Last decade marked significant improvements into interfaces for the coupling of capillary electrophoresis to mass spectrometry, which open new avenue in the field of biochemistry and biomedical sciences. Capillary electrophoresis brings high versatility and high separation power. Its coupling to mass spectrometry provides an additional dimension in terms of selectivity, sensitivity and characterization. Not only amino-acids, peptides but also native proteins or even complexes can finely be interrogated leading to significant progress in fundamental (i.e. protein-ligand and protein-protein interactions), applied (i.e. quality control of medicines) and clinical (i.e. discovery and quantification of biomarkers) areas.
In this context, it is a great pleasure to invite you to contribute to this thematic special issue of Molecules on Mass Spectrometry and Capillary Electrophoresis for the Analysis of Amino-acids, Peptides and Proteins that will cover the latest research trends and applications in the field. Submissions of review and original research papers are highly welcome. For review articles, a brief summary is required as preliminary step to avoid overlapping of topics.
I am confident that with your contribution to this special issue will be an important document in this fast-evolving and exiting field.
Prof. Dr. Marianne Fillet

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.
