State-of-the-Art Biophysics in Spain

Dear Colleagues,

Biophysics is one of the most promising and innovative areas of multidisciplinary research. Spain has actively participated in its development during the last decades, from the original concept of biophysics as a branch of biology that involved physical concepts and instruments, to the current status as a consolidated area of research where Biology and Physics meet and cross-fertilize. Many Spanish groups have pioneered a physical approach to biological systems, both contributing to a deeper understanding of the physical mechanisms that underlay biological phenomena and to the pursuit of new physics in living matter. This Special Issue aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art of Biophysics in Spain, ranging from the more traditional and established areas to the most innovative approaches. We invite researchers in the Spanish research system to submit full research articles or comprehensive reviews. Potential topics include but are not limited to the following research areas:

• Structure and Dynamics of Biomolecules and Their Assemblies Biomolecular Machines;
• Biomembranes;
• Genetics and Gene Expression Mechanisms;
• Cell Biophysics;
• Tissue Biophysics;
• Developmental Biophysics;
• Biophysical Techniques and Instrumentation;
• Theory and Modeling of Biological Systems;
• Systems Biology;
• Neuronal networks;
• Synthetic Biology;
• Physics of Evolution;

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized 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 semimonthly 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 1200 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.
