Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Fluorescent probes are rationally-designed molecules that report on their interactions or binding with the target analyte through a change in their photophysical properties. Owing to its high sensitivity, specificity, and high spatio-temporal resolution, this non-invasive technique offers real-time visualisation of chemical and biochemical interactions in complex biological systems. Modern fluorescent probes have developed the capability to tease-apart biochemical interactions and mechanisms associated with the onset and progression of specific pathologies, as well as enabled researchers to further their knowledge of the role of specific chemical species in regulating key physiological functions. In addition to their biological applications, fluorescent sensors have been applied extensively for the detection and analysis of environmental pollutants, particularly in the agricultural and industrial sector.
This special issue serves to highlight novel approaches towards the research and development of fluorescent biosensors and their potential applications. The scope of this special issue encompasses, but is not restricted to, synthesis and development of fluorescent sensors, novel fluorescent sensing mechanisms and principles, photophysical studies of fluorescent dyes and sensors, array-based sensing, analytical biochemistry, and dyes and sensors for super-resolution imaging applications.

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.
