Scope

Our understanding of living systems is greatly advanced by the uncovering and application of fundamental principles and concepts of physical science. This allows biophysics to explore the molecular and cellular structures and properties of single molecules of life. By transcending the traditional boundaries between scientific disciplines, advances are made with the development and application of techniques based on physical principles to the exploration of living systems - ranging from microscopy to theoretical frameworks. Biophysics is a Specialty Section of Physics addressing a wide range of problems. Our goal is to disseminate the current knowledge and novel experimental evidence. Here the emphasis is on the physical mechanisms of processes taking place at different organizational levels in biosystems. We especially welcome contributions in the areas of molecular and cell biophysics, physics of the genome, biomimetic, synthetic biology and biomechanics. Biophysics aims to publish the best research at the interface of biology, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Biophysics publishes research articles in experimental and theoretical aspects, including computer modelling dealing with understanding living systems. Articles must be submitted online to Physics, section Biophysics. They are processed by the associate editors of the Specialty Section.
