We are pleased to invite you to contribute to a new themed collection on Supramolecular Peptide & Protein Systems: from Design to Applications to be published in Materials Advances by the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Materials Advances publishes quality research across the breadth of materials science. The journal is indexed in all major indexes, with an impact factor of 5.2 (2023 Journal Citation Reports, Clarivate Analytics).
We invite a broad range of submissions, including original research articles, reviews, and perspectives. Topics may include, but are not limited to:
- Rational design strategies for supramolecular peptide/protein systems using computational tools to predict and guide assembly behavior.
- Characterization methods for studying self-assembly, stability, and molecular interactions.
- Therapeutic applications such as peptide-based drug delivery systems, immunotherapies, and protein mimetics.
- Materials science applications include biomaterials, tissue engineering scaffolds, and sensors.
- Nanotechnology, including peptide/protein-based nanomaterials, molecular machines, and nanoelectronics.
- Diagnostic applications involving biosensors, diagnostic agents, and biomolecule detection.
- Sustainability, with an emphasis on biodegradable materials and bio-based production methods.
Submit before 30th November 2025.
If you are interested in contributing to this collection, please get in touch with the Editorial Office.
Publishing open access with RSC journals unlocks the full potential of your research – bringing increased visibility, wider readership and higher citation potential to your work. As a not-for-profit organisation serving the chemical sciences community, we ensure that our article processing charge (APC) remains the most competitive of major publishers. More details can be found here and the standard APC for Materials Advances is £2,100 (+local taxes if applicable). There is a 15% RSC member and RSC open access agreement discount available (applicable to full price only). You can also use our journal finder tool to check if your institution currently has an agreement with the RSC that may entitle you to a discount of the APC.
