Biophysical Chemistry Av Dagmar Klostermeier, Markus G. Rudolph

Biophysical Chemistry explores the concepts of physical chemistry and molecular structure that underlie biochemical processes. Ideally suited for undergradate students and scientists with backgrounds in physics, chemistry or biology,it isalso equally accessible to students and scientists in related fields asthe book concisely describes the fundamental aspects of biophysical chemistry, and puts them into a biochemical context.The book is organized in four parts, covering thermodynamics, kinetics, molecular structure and stability, and biophysical methods. Cross-references within and between these parts emphasize common themes and highlight recurrent principles. End of chapter problems illustrate the main points explored and their relevance for biochemistry, enabling students to apply their knowledge and to transfer it to laboratory projects. Features:Connects principles of physical chemistry to biochemistryEmphasizes the role of organic reactions as tools for modification and manipulation of biomoleculesIncludes a comprehensive section on the theory of modern biophysical methods and their applications
