The benefits of open access:

free and permanent online access
expert peer review, rapid publication
no space constraints
authors retain copyright to their work
authors can post their articles on personal or institutional websites
data can be redistributed, reused and translated freely

Research highlights

	Binding kinetics of opposing bacterial regulators BMC Biochemistry 2009, 10:17 Two response regulators of antibacterial peptide production in Lactobacillus plantarum are highly homologous, co-expressed, and bind to the same promoters but differ in their binding affinity and cooperativity, explaining their opposite functions in gene regulation.

	Quantum dots track killer sushi peptide BMC Biology 2009, 7:22 Bacterial killing by an antimicrobial peptide has been monitored at the single-molecule level revealing four successive steps of the bactericidal process: binding, peptide association, membrane disruption and lysis of the cell.
