Foundations of Biophysics (Physics Essentials) - by Raymond Kemp (Hardcover)

About the Book

Biophysics is an interdisciplinary scientific field dedicated to studying biological phenomena by applying the principles and methodologies of physics. It spans a broad range of biological organizations, from biomolecules to entire ecosystems. Within this field, molecular biophysics addresses fundamental questions in molecular biology and biochemistry, employing advanced imaging techniques such as crystallography, spectroscopy, electron microscopy, and small-angle scattering to elucidate biological structures. It leverages core principles of thermodynamics, chemical kinetics, and statistical mechanics to assess complex biological processes. Key research domains within molecular biophysics include neuroscience, bioengineering, DNA structure and analysis, computational modeling, and medical physics. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts in the field of biophysics. It presents the complex subject in the most comprehensible and easy to understand language. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels.
