Improving accuracy of cell and chromophore concentration measurements using optical density

John A. Myers, Brandon Curtis, Wayne R. Curtis · 22 Apr 2013

BACKGROUND: UV-vis spectrophotometric optical density (OD) is the most commonly-used technique for estimating chromophore formation and cell concentration in liquid culture. OD wavelength is often chosen with little thought given to its effect on the quality of the measurement. Analysis of the contributions of absorption and scattering to the measured optical density provides a basis…

Thermal decomposition of the amino acids glycine, cysteine, aspartic acid, asparagine, glutamic acid, glutamine, arginine and histidine

Ingrid M. Weiss, Christina Muth, Robert Drumm et al. · 9 Feb 2018

The pathways of thermal instability of amino acids have been unknown. New mass spectrometric data allow unequivocal quantitative identification of the decomposition products. Calorimetry, thermogravimetry and mass spectrometry were used to follow the thermal decomposition of the eight amino acids G, C, D, N, E, Q, R and H between 185 °C and 280 °C.…

DelPhi: a comprehensive suite for DelPhi software and associated resources

Lin Li, Chuan Li, Subhra Sarkar et al. · 14 May 2012

BACKGROUND: Accurate modeling of electrostatic potential and corresponding energies becomes increasingly important for understanding properties of biological macromolecules and their complexes. However, this is not an easy task due to the irregular shape of biological entities and the presence of water and mobile ions. RESULTS: Here we report a comprehensive suite for the well-known Poisson-Boltzmann…

Simulation tools for particle-based reaction-diffusion dynamics in continuous space

Johannes Schöneberg, Alexander Ullrich, Frank Noé · 23 Oct 2014

Particle-based reaction-diffusion algorithms facilitate the modeling of the diffusional motion of individual molecules and the reactions between them in cellular environments. A physically realistic model, depending on the system at hand and the questions asked, would require different levels of modeling detail such as particle diffusion, geometrical confinement, particle volume exclusion or particle-particle interaction potentials.…

The biophysical nature of cells: potential cell behaviours revealed by analytical and computational studies of cell surface mechanics

Ramiro Magno, Verônica A. Grieneisen, Athanasius F. M. Marée · 11 May 2015

BACKGROUND: The biophysical characteristics of cells determine their shape in isolation and when packed within tissues. Cells can form regular or irregular epithelial structures, round up and form clusters, or deform and attach to substrates. The acquired shape of cells and tissues is a consequence of (i) internal cytoskeletal processes, such as actin polymerisation and…

BMC Biophysics template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the BMC Biophysics format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the BMC Biophysics template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does BMC Biophysics use?
BMC Biophysics uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. BMC Biophysics. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to BMC Biophysics?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready BMC Biophysics document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the BMC Biophysics template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the BMC Biophysics format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
Who publishes BMC Biophysics?
BMC Biophysics is a life sciences and medicine journal published by BMC (BioMed Central). DocuGuru's BMC Biophysics template matches BMC (BioMed Central)'s official submission format.
Can I export a submission-ready BMC Biophysics PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official BMC Biophysics template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the BMC Biophysics template cost?
You can start writing in the BMC Biophysics template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready BMC Biophysics PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
