Mathematical research findings which are&nbsp;related to other biomolecular processes, such as biomolecular structures, function, dynamics&nbsp;and transport, are also welcome. Original papers and high-quality review articles on the&nbsp;aforementioned topics are solicited for this special issue.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-size: medium;">Potential topics include, but are not limited to:</span><br/><br/><span style="font-size: medium;">- Random knotting and linking in polymers and biopolymers</span><br/><span style="font-size: medium;">- DNA topology and enzyme actions</span><br/><span style="font-size: medium;">- Knotting in proteins and other open curves</span><br/><span style="font-size: medium;">- Ropelength and knot energy constraints on knotting in biological systems</span><br/><span style="font-size: medium;">- Geometric, topological, and algebraic modeling of macromolecules</span><br/><span style="font-size: medium;">- Mathematical methods for molecular imaging and visualization</span><br/><span style="font-size: medium;">- Biomolecular simulations and software development</span><br/><br/><span style="font-size: medium;">Before submission authors should carefully read over the Author Guidelines, which are&nbsp;located at http://www.degruyter.com/view/j/mlbmb. All manuscripts are subject to the&nbsp;standard peer review process before publication. Please note the publisher has waived&nbsp;the Article Processing Charges for this special issue, but articles will be open-access in&nbsp;accordance with the overall goals of the journal. Prospective authors should submit an&nbsp;electronic copy of their complete manuscript via email to Journal Associate Editor&nbsp;Shan Zhao at szhao@versita.com.</span><br/><br/><span style="font-size: medium;">We are looking forward to your submission.
