Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
DNA and RNA are privileged molecules with unique physical and chemical properties that can be exploited for nanotechnology applications. In particular, the programmability and potential for molecular self-assembly that stems from the nucleic acid sequence opens up many exciting possible applications that are hard to imagine from any other molecular building block. From static and dynamic DNA and RNA nanostructures, to molecular machines, to diagnostics and therapies, the world of DNA and RNA nanotechnology is expanding at a remarkable rate. We welcome high quality papers on any aspect of RNA and DNA nanotechnology for this Special Issue.
Dr. Maria C. DeRosa

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. Methods and Protocols 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 1800 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.
