BMC Biophysics 2012, 5:10Safer foods for gluten intolerance?
Stephen Harding and colleagues speculate on the role that the ultracentrifuge assay procedure could play in detecting non-toxic biopolymers capable of sequestering ingested gluten peptides, with the eventual aim of reducing gluten intolerance symptoms.

BMC Biophysics 2012, 5:9An oracle for calculating electrostatic interactions
The DelPhi package is a comprehensive and user-friendly suite of tools for modelling electrostatic potentials in macromolecules using the Poisson-Boltzmann Equation, and is now enriched with additional features for greater usability.

BMC Biophysics 2012, 5:7Arbitrary docking targets protein interfaces
Docking of target proteins against an arbitrary set of partners generally leads to non-random localization of interaction interfaces as the false complexes favor residues from true interaction sites, allowing prediction of biologically relevant protein interfaces

BMC Biophysics 2012, 5:6Modeling membrane microdomains
Non-homogeneous diffusion in cell membranes leads to the formation of protein/ lipid enriched microdomains in a model of membrane dynamics, with domains of high viscosity tending to gather a statistically larger proportion of diffusive particles

BMC Biophysics 2012, 5:5Differential effects of anesthetic on lipid bilayers
Steady-state anisotropy of two fluorescent probes at different depths in a lipid bilayer reveals a decrease in anisotropy with increasing isoflurane anesthetic concentration, reflecting changes in the lateral pressure profile of the membrane.

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.

Quote
"I strongly believe in the internet and open-access publishing in order to achieve scientific outreach both within academia and outside academia. Open-access allows anyone in the world with access to a computer to access scientific research. These innovative journals are becoming extremely successful and will change the nature of scientific publishing and increase the accessibility of science."
