Biophysical Chemistry

Aims & Scope

Biophysical Chemistry publishes original work and reviews in the areas of chemistry and physics directly impacting biological phenomena.

Quantitative analysis of the properties of biological macromolecules, biologically active molecules, macromolecular assemblies and cell components in terms of kinetics, thermodynamics, spatio-temporal organization, NMR and X-ray structural biology, as well as single-molecule detection represent a major focus of the journal.

Theoretical and computational treatments of biomacromolecular systems, macromolecular interactions, regulatory control and systems biology are also of interest to the journal.
