BMC Biophysics 2013, 6:7Parallel routes to receptor activation
Xiaodong Pang and Huan-Xiang Zhou discuss a recent study in BMC Biophysics that sheds new light on mechanisms of receptor activation, and argue that coexistence of monomers and dimers may be common for cell surface receptors.

BMC Biophysics 2013, 6:6Receptor dimerization after ligand binding
Single-molecule photobleaching reveals that the MET receptor exists as both dimers and monomers on cell membranes in the absence of a ligand, with the proportion of dimers increasing significantly upon ligand binding.

BMC Biophysics 2013, 6:5Analyzing forces within biomolecular structures
Time-resolved force distribution analysis is a new method to monitor the fluctuations of internal forces in complex macromolecular structures, and is an alternative approach to coordinate-based methods for analyzing structural transitions.

Scope
BMC Biophysics is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in experimental and theoretical aspects of biological processes from the microscopic to macroscopic level, including thermodynamics, structural stability and dynamics, molecular biophysics, signalling, novel biophysical methods and computational biophysics.
It is journal policy to publish work deemed by peer reviewers to be a coherent and sound addition to scientific knowledge and to put less emphasis on interest levels, provided that the research constitutes a useful contribution to the field.
