Editorial: Advances in computational molecular biophysics

This special issue of BBA is dedicated to Dr. Jeremy C. Smith on the occasion of his 60th birthday and his more than three decades as a practitioner of computational molecular biophysics. The special issue showcases cutting-edge work in computational molecular biophysics. The senior authors of the manuscripts in this issue are Dr. Smith’s previous or present collaborators. Their articles reflect Dr. Smith’s distinguished career integrating experimental and molecular simulation approaches into a unified description of the function, structure, and dynamics of biomolecules. Each of the articles presented here illustrates one aspect of the broad nature of computational molecular biophysics.
