This collection of articles, which were all published in 2021, includes papers that have already garnered attention through online downloads and citations. This collection is representative of the wide range of topics currently being studied in biophysics and of interest to the members of the Biophysical Society. These include molecular-level biophysics of channelrhodopsin, membranes, protein-nucleic acid condensates, disordered proteins, and migration of bacteria in porous media, as well as COVID-19’s effects on the biophysics of blood cells. The journal’s associate editors, whose expertise encompasses the broad scope of the journal in all areas of biophysics, identified these as some of the most interesting new research papers to be published in our pages. We hope that you will enjoy reading this special collection. - Thermodynamics and kinetics of phase separation of protein-RNA mixtures by a minimal model - Quantifying viscosity and surface tension of multicomponent protein-nucleic acid condensates - Physical phenotype of blood cells is altered in COVID-19 - Modeling fi brillogenesis of collagen-mimetic molecules - Intrachain interaction topology can identify functionally similar intrinsically disordered proteins - EPA and DHA differentially modulate membrane elasticity in the presence of cholesterol - CRISPR-based DNA and RNA detection with liquid-liquid phase separation - Clathrin senses membrane curvature - Channelrhodopsin C1C2: Photocycle kinetics and interactions near the central gate - Chemotactic migration of bacteria in porous media [Download the digital edition]( Special Content - Newsletter & Updates is a communication type sent to you by Cell Press.
