Abstract
The journal Molecular Based Mathematical Biology (MBMB) will publish a special issue entitled ``Knotted and random macromolecule shapes: modeling, analysis, and computation''.
The purpose of this special issue is to create a medium for researchers from mathematical and biological sciences and other related disciplines to report novel mathematical models, computational algorithms, and theoretical analysis for knotted and random shapes of macromolecules, such as DNA, RNA, and proteins.
MBMB is a recently established journal, whose aim is to promote the mathematical study of biological processes at the molecular scale. Mathematical research findings which are related to other biomolecular processes, such as biomolecular structures, function, dynamics and transport, are also welcome. Original papers and high-quality review articles on the aforementioned topics are solicited for this special issue.
Potential topics include, but are not limited to:
- Random knotting and linking in polymers and biopolymers
- DNA topology and enzyme actions
- Knotting in proteins and other open curves
- Ropelength and knot energy constraints on knotting in biological systems
- Geometric, topological, and algebraic modeling of macromolecules
- Mathematical methods for molecular imaging and visualization
- Biomolecular simulations and software development
Before submission authors should carefully read over the Author Guidelines, which are located at http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/mlbmb. All manuscripts are subject to the standard peer review process before publication. Please note the publisher has waived the Article Processing Charges for this special issue, but articles will be open-access in accordance with the overall goals of the journal. Prospective authors should submit an electronic copy of their complete manuscript via email to Journal Associate Editor Shan Zhao at szhao@versita.com.
We are looking forward to your submission. If you have any question, please contact Jason Cantarella at jason@math.uga.edu.
