Biophysical Chemistry

“<i>Biophysical Chemistry</i> is an outstanding book that delivers both fundamental and complex biophysical principles, along with an excellent overview of the current biophysical research areas, in a manner that makes it accessible for mathematically and non-mathematically inclined readers.” (<i>Journal of Chemical Biology</i>, February 2009) <p> </p> <p>This text presents physical chemistry through the use of biological and biochemical topics, examples and applications to biochemistry. It lays out the necessary calculus in a step by step fashion for students who are less mathematically inclined, leading them through fundamental concepts, such as a quantum mechanical description of the hydrogen atom rather than simply stating outcomes. Techniques are presented with an emphasis on learning by analyzing real data.<br /> </p> <ul> <li>Presents physical chemistry through the use of biological and biochemical topics, examples and applications to biochemistry<br /> </li> <li>Lays out the necessary calculus in a step by step fashion for students who are less mathematically inclined<br /> </li> <li>Presents techniques with an emphasis on learning by analyzing real data<br /> </li> <li>Features qualitative and quantitative problems at the end of each chapter<br /> </li> <li>All art available for download online and on CD-ROM</li> </ul>
