is the fast
and easy way to understand this fascinating topic.
Written in a step-by-step format, this practical guide begins
with an introduction to the science of biophysics, covering
biophysical techniques and applications. Next, you'll learn the
principles of physics, biology, and chemistry required to
understand biophysics, including free energy, entropy, and
statistical mechanics. Biomolecules and the forces that influence
their structure and conformation are also covered, as are
protein, nucleic acid, and membrane biophysics. Detailed examples
and concise explanations make it easy to understand the material,
and end-of-chapter quizzes and a final exam help reinforce key
concepts.
