Call for Papers for a Special Collection on the Frontiers of Computational Biophysics

This Special Collection will explore the frontiers of multiscale modeling from all-atom molecular dynamics and mixed quantum-classical (QM/MM) approaches to coarse-grained and mesoscale representations of biomolecules into the cell environment, exploring novel integrative methods that bridge the macromolecular (nm) to sub-cellular (μm) levels. These will include different kinds of phase space sampling, such as Brownian dynamics, other stochastic dynamics and advanced sampling methods. This Special Collection will also comprise emerging computational approaches harnessing artificial intelligence and deep learning, which
further empower computational biophysics toward new frontiers.

The Editorial Board would like to cordially invite you to contribute with a research article or areview/perspective for our special edition. QRB Discovery publishes new developments in the field of experimental and computational biophysics. Articles report on significant physical observations of relevance to biological systems, both experimental and theoretical, that may point towards an exciting direction, rather than the presentation of a traditional comprehensive study.

Your paper will go through peer review and we encourage you to contact Alison Paskins (alison.paskins@cambridge.org) if you want to discuss your submission.

Accepted articles will be promoted through social media. 

For more information on how to submit see here and submit your manuscript here.
