Watts ISSN: 0175-7571 (print version) ISSN: 1432-1017 (electronic version)                       The "European Biophysics Journal" publishes papers in the field of biophysics, where biophysics is defined as the study of biological phenomena by using physical methods and concepts. original papers, reviews and biophysics letters are published. The primary goal of this journal is to advance the understanding of biological structure and function by application of the principles of physical science, and by presenting the work in a biophysical context. Principal areas of interest include: structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules; membrane biophysics and ion channels; cell biophysics and organisation; macromolecular assemblies; biophysical methods and instrumentation; advanced microscopics; and system dynamics. The journal is published on behalf of European Biophysical Societies Association.

Watts European Biophysics Journal Editorial Office Oxford Biomembrane Structure Unit Biochemistry Department University of Oxford South Parks Road Oxford OX1 3QU, UK Tel.: +44-1865-275268 Fax: +44-1865-275234/275259 e-mail: awatts@bioch.ox.ac.uk http://www.bioch.ox.ac.uk/~awatts/ European Biophysics Journal has one central editorial office which deals with all manuscripts. After submission, manuscripts are allocated to one of the Editors. Manuscripts will normally be refereed by two independent reviewers reporting to the responsible editor. Authors are free to name up to three persons whom the editor may invite to evaluate the manuscript. Legal requirements Submission of a manuscript implies: that the work described has not been published before (except in the form of an abstract, or as part of a published lecture, or thesis); that it is not under consideration for publication anywhere else; that its publication has been approved by all co-authors, if any, as well as by the responsible authorities - tacitly or explicitly - at the institute where the work has been carried out. The publisher will not be held legally responsible should there be any claims for compensation. Manuscript preparation All manuscripts should be typewritten (12 pt) with double spacing and wide margins and lines should be numbered consecutively throughout the text. Please note that one printed page corresponds to approximately: 850 words text, or 3 illustrations with their legends, or 55 references. Reviews These will normally be invited and will be refereed. Unsolicited reviews will be considered for publication, but intending authors are recommended to consult the Managing Editor initially. Biophysics letters These are shorter articles for accelerated publication, representing significant results and technical advances or discussion of a current proposition within the Journal’s field of interest. To facilitate review, the work should be effectively acceptable in the form submitted, meeting the normal criteria of scientific rigour. Normal Journal format should be used for references, tables etc. Submission of any manuscript implies that it has the approval of all the named authors, that it represents unpublished work, and that it is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. Authors will receive copies of the final proofs. It is therefore essential that manuscripts should be complete as submitted. Changes to the text at the proof stage are time-consuming and expensive and may be charged to the author. The manuscript should include, in the following order: Title page: Giving a concise but informative title, the names of the authors (indicating by the symbol * address for correspondence), the addresses of the institutions where the work was carried out. Any necessary footnotes (e.g. giving author’s present addresses) should be given on the title page. To facilitate communication between the authors, editors and publishers, the author should furnish a telex or fax number on the title page of the manuscript. Abstract (max. 250 words). Should be as informative as possible for abstracting journals. Text: (i) Introduction, (ii) Experimental (Materials and methods), (iii) Theory (if required), (iv) Results, (v) Discussion (which may be combined with Results), (vi) Acknowledgements, (vii) Footnotes (if any). Abbreviations should be kept to a minimum and defined as a footnote to the first page of the main text. Chemical and biochemical nomenclature should follow the recommendations of IUPAC and IUB. SI units and their recommended alternatives should be used for physical quantities. Equations should be typewritten whenever possible, and any special typefaces or alphabets required should be indicated in the left margin. Subscripts must be recognisable as such. Formulae should, as far as possible, be written in ‘linear?form, i.e. a/(b+c). Equations should be numbered consecutively in arabic numerals (Eq. 1) inside the right margin. Footnotes to the title of the paper are not given reference symbols; those to the authors are numbered and placed at the bottom of the title page. Footnotes to the text are numbered consecutively; those to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data). Genus and species names should be in italics. Safety and ethics: Authors are responsible for drawing the attention of the reader to hazards associated with any procedures described, and for ensuring that their work complies with normal ethical practices. Please note: This journal does not accept Microsoft Word 2007 documents at this time. Please use Word's "Save As" option to save your document as an older (.doc) file type. Figures and Tables -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Color figures will be published free of charge - online as well as in print. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All figures (photographs, graphs or diagrams) and tables should be cited in the text, and each numbered consecutively throughout. The placement of figures and tables should be indicated in the left margin. Figure parts should be identified by lower-case roman letters. Figure legends must be brief, self-sufficient explanations of the illustrations. The legends should be placed at the end of the text Tables should have a title and a legend explaining any abbreviation used in that table. Footnotes to tables should be indicated by superscript lower-case letters (or asterisks for significance values and other statistical data). References References should be cited in the text, e.g. (Bryant and Wolfe 1989; Dustin 1984; Müller et al. 1991). References should be listed at the end of the paper in alphabetical order, except for papers by three or more authors (given in the text only as ‘et al.?, which should be grouped in chronological order after any other papers by the first author. The reference list should include only published papers or accepted papers which are ‘in press? ‘Personal communication?and ‘unpublished work?may be used in the text only; the Editor may request documentation of these citations. The style to be used for journal papers, articles and books is shown as follows: Bryant G, Wolfe J (1989) Can hydration forces induce lateral phase separation in lamellar phases?
