Diffusion and association processes in biological systems: Theory, computation and experiment

Abstract

Macromolecular diffusion plays a fundamental role in biological processes. Here, we give an overview of recent methodological advances and some of the challenges for understanding how molecular diffusional properties influence biological function that were highlighted at a recent workshop, BDBDB2, the second Biological Diffusion and Brownian Dynamics Brainstorm. © 2011 Mereghetti et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.
