Introduction to Molecular Biophysics Books
Product Description
Molecular biophysics is a rapidly growing field of research that plays an vital role in elucidating the mysteries of life’s molecules and their assemblies, as well as the relationship between their structure and function. Introduction to Molecular Biophysics fills a an urgent need for a text that provides students with the modern theoretical tools they need to know life processes from a corporal viewpoint. The authors use a combination of biological in rank with corporal models and theories to provide a rigorous description of biological structures. The theme throughout Introduction to Molecular Biophysics is the hierarchical organization of all living systems starting with single cells and building up to systems and organisms. The text starts by presenting the structural, biochemical, and biophysical properties of the building blocks of all living systems, by the side of with their functions in living cells. The authors also review the structure and function of the living cell with emphasis on its organization and functional interdependence of the subcellular structures, by the side of with the examination of the role of diffusion processes in cell functions. Following the discussion of single cell organization and function, the text covers the biophysics of tissues, organs, organisms, and viruses. The text reviews numerous topics of relevance to the field of biophysics, ranging from peptide chains to DNA structure and function, cytoplasm, membranes, and motor proteins. In addition, since nonlinear physicists have developed new corporal concepts that have been evaluated as a possible theoretical framework within which living systems can be better understood, the authors have provided three appendices that summarize the most vital thoughts and consequences caught up in nonlinear physics, phase transitions, and diffusion. Introduction to Molecular Biophysics is richly illustrated and includes numerous examples, references, and experimental tools that make the book an outstanding text for upper-level and graduate students in biophysics, biology, and biochemistry.

I am a cell biologist that was looking for a comprehensive biophysics resource. The description of the book and the table of contents gave me reason to hope that this was the book I was seeking. Unfortunately, despite the book’s stated aim to foster dialogue between physicists and biologists, this book assumes far too much of its readers. There is no glossary. Several terms are introduced without being defined or illustrated. Some sections are extremely small, even as others spend a extensive quantity of time describing examples of questionable relevance to the stated topic. That said, I did find several passages of the book stimulating and plotting provoking. I very much liked the description of dead cells being “at equilibrium.” This book is apt for graduate students and higher. I don’t reckon this book would be very helpful as a course text.
