In keeping with goal and style of the Handbook in Modern Biophysics series, the proposed book will maintain a chapter structure that contains two parts: concepts and biological application. The book also integrates all the chapters into a smooth, continuous discourse. The first and second chapters establish the mathematical methods and theoretical framework underpinning the different topics in the rest if the book. Other chapters will use the theoretical framework as a basis to discuss optical and NMR approaches. Each chapter will contain innovative didactic elements that facilitate teaching, self-study, and research preparation (key points, summary, exercise, references).
From the reviews:
"Introduces the fundamental physics concepts underlying described procedures, describes the instrumentation or technique, and illustrates the application in studying current biomedical problems. This book brings current biophysics topics into focus. ... With the addition of problem sets, guides to further study and references, the interested reader can continue to independently explore the ideas presented. ... will be a useful comparison for moderately advanced users wishing to extend their skills and can be recommended as valuable textbook for undergraduate as well as graduate students."
