Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will consist of selected excellent papers from the 23rd Bratislava International Conference on Macromolecules, “Computational Approach to Polymers in Biological and Soft Matter” (BIMac 2019), which will be held in Bratislava, Slovakia from June 30 to July 3, 2019. The meeting will be focused on the computational modeling of biological and soft matter with a large variety of applications to polymer physics, biochemistry, biophysics, molecular biology, and potentially to biotechnology, nanotechnology, or biomedicine. Computational modeling provides explanation of experimental findings, interpretation of observed phenomena, and prediction of properties and behavior of systems that are not accessible to experimental measurements. Different length and time scales of computational approaches as well as various levels of approximations introduced into the computational methods and models will be presented.
These papers will be subject to peer review and published so as to widely disseminate new research results, including developments and applications.
The authors of papers submitted to the 23rd BIMac 2019 conference (http://www.polymer.sav.sk/bimac/) will be given the opportunity to submit extended versions of their works in this Special Issue, provided they fulfill the specific journal requirements found at https://www.mdpi.com/journal/computation/instructions.

Specific methods and fields of applications include but are not limited to:

Statistic physics (polymer computational physics and biophysics, statistical mechanics in biological context, modelling biological systems);
Genetic material (simulations of polymer topology, geometrically and topologically constrained polymers, conformational transition in polymers, soft condensed matter, soft condensed matter;
Materials and surfaces (simulations of conformational transition in polymers, soft condensed matter, protection of surfaces).
