Biophysical Journal Sponsors Poster Competition in Lima, Peru Congratulations to winners of the Biophysical Journal Poster Competition held in conjunction with the recent BPS Thematic Meeting “Revisiting the Central Dogma of Molecular Biology at the Single-Molecule Level.” The winners were selected from 32 competition entries by a committee of six judges. The journal sponsors the poster competitions to support the work of young researchers, particularly those who might not al- ways have an opportunity to attend large conferences such as the BPS Annual Meeting. The winners receive a certificate and a monetary award. Student Awards Matthew T. Halma , University of Alberta Complex Dynamics under Tension in a High-Efficiency Frameshift Stimulatory Structure Luka Robeson , Universidad de Chile Postdoc Award Xiaoli Weng , Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Spatial Organization of RNA Polymerase and its Relationship with Transcription in E. coli

Principles of Protein–Protein Association Harold P. Erickson Department of Cell Biology, Duke University

Protein–protein associations are fundamental to biological mechanisms, creating a need for a book that covers the basic principles of protein–protein association. This book has been developed from lectures given to graduate students in cell and molecular biology. The general principles are accompanied by guided reading of informative classic papers. This book should be useful for faculties organizing similar classes, and also for students and researchers who wish to learn on their own.
