Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics

Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics covers the field of experimental and computational biophysics. Experimental biophysics span across different physics-based measurements such as optical microscopy, super-resolution imaging, electron microscopy, X-ray and neutron diffraction, spectroscopy, calorimetry, thermodynamics and their integrated uses. Computational biophysics includes theory, simulations, bioinformatics and system analysis. These biophysical methodologies are used to discover the structure, function and physiology of biological systems in varying complexities from cells, organelles, membranes, protein-nucleic acid complexes, molecular machines to molecules. The majority of reviews published are invited from authors who have made significant contributions to the field, who give critical, readable and sometimes controversial accounts of recent progress and problems in their specialty. The journal has long-standing, worldwide reputation, demonstrated by its high ranking in the ISI Science Citation Index, as a forum for general and specialized communication between biophysicists working in different areas. Thematic issues are occasionally published.

Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics涵盖实验和计算生物物理学领域。实验生物物理学跨越不同的基于物理的测量，例如光学显微镜、超分辨率成像、电子显微镜、X射线和中子衍射、光谱学、量热法、热力学及其综合用途。计算生物物理学包括理论、模拟、生物信息学和系统分析。这些生物物理学方法用于发现从细胞、细胞器、膜、蛋白质-核酸复合物、分子机器到分子等不同复杂性的生物系统的结构、功能和生理学。 大多数发表的综述都是由对该领域做出重大贡献的作者邀请的，他们对各自专业的最新进展和问题给出了批判性的、可读的、有时甚至是有争议的描述。
