The journal publishes original letters and papers, mini-reviews, reports from meetings and special issues describing research on biological phenomena in terms of the principles and methods of physics and chemistry. It is receptive to articles which deal with biological molecules and systems and to papers which treat systems serving as models for these. Treatments, phenomenological as well as molecular, of the interactions, structure and biological functions of individual biological macromolecules, and of supramolecular structures, are also within the journal's remit.A feature of the journal is Letters - short articles, no longer than 10 double-spaced manuscript pages (text and figures/tables included). For Biophysical Chemistry Letters no proofs will be sent to authors. Authors can now submit supplementary material (e.g. colour pictures) for publication on the WWW.
