Molecular Biophysics: Structures in Motion

Blurb

Offering a comprehensive introduction to the molecular physics of biological systems, this book seeks to explain how the laws and concepts of physics apply to the living world at the molecular and subecellular level, with an emphasis on electrical and dynamical behavior. It is organized into five parts: conformation of biopolymers; dynamics of biopolymers; hydration of biopolmers; biopolymers as polyelectrolytes; and association between molecules.
