This Special Issue of Biophysical Chemistry includes a selection of the papers presented at the XXI Congress of the Italian Society of Pure and Applied Biophysics (i.e., SIBPA, Società Italiana di Biofisica Pura ed Applicata) held on September 2012 at the University of Ferrara, Ferrara, Italy. Topics cover all biophysical disciplines, from molecular to cellular, to integrative biophysics giving...

Breaking the limits in glycan recognition by NMR (RECGLYCANMR) is a multidisciplinary project that combines state-of-the-art chemistry and chemical biology methods, including vitro in-cell NMR, biophysics protocols under crowding conditions to ask answer pivotal questions related sugar molecular Nature are intimately infection inflammation diseases.

In the 1960s, Biophysics was an unheard of scientific field in Spain, and even outside distinction between Molecular Biology not clear at time. This paper describes briefly developments that led to foundation Spanish National Committee for (1981) Biophysical Society (1987), incorporation Spain into IUPAB EBSA, normalized presence as a compulsory subject undergraduate curricula Spain.

An overview of the biophysics activity at Department Physics and Chemistry Emilio Segrè University Palermo is given. For forty years, focus research has been on protein structure–dynamics–function paradigm, with aim understanding molecular basis relevant mechanisms key role solvent. At least three lines are identified; main results obtained in collaboration other groups Italy abroad presented. ...
