Editorial
Cui and Nussinov address the issue of making high-quality biomolecular simulation protocols available to the bioscience community. The authors highlight the major step taken by Miller et al. in three Education articles with the hope that these CHARMMing papers will stimulate efforts in bringing advanced simulations and good computational practices.

Research Article
Pore formation is central to the ability of cholesterol dependent cytolysins to act as important bacterial virulence factors. The mechanism of membrane perforation presented by Reboul et al. furthers the understanding of pore formation by these important toxins.

Research Article
To understand spontaneous animal behaviour Jung et al. conducted an experiment in which rats chose different foods over a continuous time period. The results provide behavioural and computational insights into the dynamical properties of decision-making that determine both when an animal will act and what the animal will choose.
