Scope
Intermolecular interactions are central to cellular processes. Molecular recognition — the detection of particular biological entities by cognate molecules, including signaling factors — regulates communication within cells and tissues, forming the foundation, e.g., of immune responses and hormone control.
As intermolecular interactions can also be modulated by artificial intervention, the discovery and design of targeted molecules to coopt specific cellular processes has been a major area of contemporary biomedical research and development efforts, with the goal of designing drugs and/or probes to elucidate the mechanisms behind biomolecular phenomena.
Molecular Recognition offers a peer-reviewed and open-access publication option to biomedical scientists who develop and apply experimental and computational tools to investigate topics in this discipline. It covers advances in a wide range of topics in the field, from new tools and techniques to their applications to address biological questions at the molecular or cellular level. Specifically, contributions in the general areas of host-guest systems of biological importance; protein-ligand binding; nucleic acid-ligand binding; and protein-protein and protein-nucleic acid interactions are highly relevant.

PMCID: all published articles receive a PMCID
Molecular Recognition welcomes submissions of the following article types: Brief Research Report, Correction, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Protocols, Review and Technology Report.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Molecular Recognition, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Molecular Recognition will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Molecular Biosciences.
