The following Special Issue will be published in Toxins (ISSN 2076-6651,

submissions of full research papers and comprehensive review articles for
peer-review and possible publication:

Special Issue: Novel Properties of Well-Characterized Toxins
Website: http://www.mdpi.com/si/toxins/toxins-novel-properties/
Guest Editor: Prof. Dr. Vernon L. Tesh
Deadline for manuscript submissions: 15 September 2012

You may send your manuscript now or up until the deadline.
Submitted papers should not have been published previously, nor be under
consideration for publication elsewhere. We also encourage authors to send
us their tentative title and short abstract by e-mail for approval to the
Editorial Office at toxins@mdpi.com.

This Special Issue will be fully open access. Open access (unlimited and
free access by readers) increases publicity and promotes more frequent
citations as indicated by several studies. Open access is supported by the
authors and their institutes. More information is available at
http://www.mdpi.com/about/openaccess/.

Article Processing Charges (APC) are of 500 CHF per accepted paper.
An additional fee of 250 CHF may apply if English editing or extensive
revisions must be undertaken by the Editorial Office. More information can
be found at http://www.mdpi.com/about/apc/.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors before submitting a manuscript:
