Chemical Biology - by Banafshe Larijani & Colin A Rosser & Rudiger Woscholski (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Eine ganz moderne Einfuhrung in die chemische Bilogie! Modular gegliedert ordnet der Band Arbeitstechniken aus der Physik und physikalischen Chemie den Anwendungen in der Biologie und Biomedizin zu. Hilfsmittel und Verfahren werden nicht auf zu hohem Niveau erlautert, interessante Beispiele aus der Praxis der chemischen Biologie runden jedes Kapitel ab.

From the Back Cover

Chemical Biology
Techniques and Applications

Written by a team of international researchers and teachers at the cutting edge of chemical biology research, this book provides an exciting, comprehensive introduction to a wide range of chemical and physical techniques with applications in areas as diverse as molecular biology, signal transduction, drug discovery and medicine.

Techniques include; Cryo-electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry in the study of lipid structures, membrane potentials and membrane probes, identification and quantification of lipids using mass spectroscopy, liquid state NMR, solid state NMR in biomembranes, molecular dynamics, two dimensional infra-red studies of biomolecules, single and two-photon fluorescence, optical tweezers, PET imaging and chemical genetics.

key Features
