Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Chirality became a very important issue when it was discovered that enantiomers of the same chiral molecule behave differently when used as pharmaceutical compounds or when they proved to be biomarkers for different diseases. Therefore, it was an urgent need for the pharmaceutical industry to develop asymmetric synthesis for almost all chiral drugs, and to verify the pathways of enantiomers in the body. Biomedical enantioanalysis came also with a high challenge and request of high sensitivity, selectivity and enantioselectivity in order to obtain the correct diagnostic. For both pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis there is a continuous challenge in develo** new tools, and highly reliable methods of enantioanalysis.
Please note that all submitted papers must be within the general scope of the Symmetry journal.
Therefore, we welcome papers (original and review articles) to this Special Issue that are dedicated to both asymmetric synthesis and the development of new tools for the enantioanalysis of pharmaceutical compounds and for biomedical enantioanalysis.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at mdpi.longhoe.net 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. Symmetry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly 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 2400 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.
