BMC Biophysics Thematic Series
A BMC Biophysics thematic issue on Biological Diffusion and Brownian Dynamics with some papers on topics presented at BDBDB2 is available here :
Biological Diffusion and Brownian Dynamics
Aim and Scope
The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum for intensive discussions about the state-of-the-art
in Brownian Dynamics simulations of biological macromolecules and related methodologies. Particular
attention will be paid to the theoretical description of concentrated media, simulations in cell-like
environments and in-vivo measurements of diffusion. Participants will include theoreticians and
experimentalists. Speakers will be encouraged to present work in progress and discuss speculative
ideas.

Dates
October 11-13, 2010.
Location
The meeting will take place at the Villa Bosch, Heidelberg and, via video-conferencing,
at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). There will be live video-conferencing
sessions each evening (Heidelberg)/morning (San Diego).
