• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Molecular and Cellular Biophysics provides advanced undergraduate and graduate students with a foundation in the basic concepts of biophysics. It will enable them to understand how basic physical concepts can be used in the investigation of biological problems. All students who have taken physical chemistry and calculus courses will find this book accessible. The text provides a rigorous treatment of the fundamental theories in biophysics and illustrates their application with examples including protein folding, enzyme catalysis and ion channel permeation.
