Biophysics is an interdisciplinary topic of great importance in Modern Biology. This volume not only addresses the needs of biologists and biochemists but also contains material for a one-semester course offered to Master’s students of life sciences. It covers a wide range of topics from quantum mechanics to pre-biotic evolution. Understanding the topics covered in the book requires only basic, school level mathematics. • Introduces and refreshes the reader’s knowledge of physics and chemistry. • Covers various physico–chemical techniques used to study biomolecular structures. • Treatment of spectroscopy, microscopy, diffraction and computational techniques. • Detailed coverage of X-ray crystallography and NMR. • Exemplifies results of applications covered in the book. • Inclusion of related topics namely energy pathways, biomechanics and neuro-biophysics. NEW TO THE SECOND EDITION: • Introductory topics extensively revised. • Explanations simplified to make them more accessible. • New topics introduced – DNA nanostructure, mass spectroscopy. • Figures and tables modified and improved
