Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics

Aims & Scope

Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics covers the field of experimental and computational biophysics.

Experimental biophysics span across different physics-based measurements such as optical microscopy, super-resolution imaging, electron microscopy, X-ray and neutron diffraction, spectroscopy, calorimetry, thermodynamics and their integrated uses.

Computational biophysics includes theory, simulations, bioinformatics and system analysis.

These biophysical methodologies are used to discover the structure, function and physiology of biological systems in varying complexities from cells, organelles, membranes, protein-nucleic acid complexes, molecular machines to molecules.
