Scope
Aims, scope and focus
Computational and Mathematical Biophysics is published by De Gruyter. By OpenAlex counts of its recent articles, its largest topics are Mathematical and Theoretical Epidemiology and Ecology Models, COVID-19 epidemiological studies and Protein Structure and Dynamics, together about 44.7% of its articles. Its main subfields are Modeling and Simulation. (generated from OpenAlex topic counts and CAS ranking data)
Computational and Mathematical Biophysics publishes original articles, letters, and reviews that concern the application of computational and mathematical approaches to important problems in molecular bioscience and biophysics, such as biomolecular structure and function, solvation, electrostatics, biomolecular dynamics and transport, ion channels, membrane transporters, protein interactions with ligands, proteins, and nucleic acids, signaling, genomic biophysics, cryo-electron microscopy, molecular motors, and rational drug design. Theoretical, computational, and mathematical studies, that can improve the understanding of experimental results or simulate systems for which experiments are intractable, are particularly welcomed.
