Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Proteins and nucleic acids are naturally optimized to undergo changes to their conformations in a narrow range of conditions around what is considered normal. Understanding conformational transitions in polypeptides and nucleic acids helps us to know more about mechanisms involved in the structure of related biological macromolecules.
After the measurement is taken, the next step is to decide which model to apply in order to process the obtained experimental data. Analytical theories and computer simulations are often applied in such research.
This Special Issue aims to report recent studies on conformational transitions in polypeptides and nucleic acids. Both original research articles and comprehensive reviews are warmly welcomed.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Biophysica is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
