For one- or two-term courses in Biophysical Chemistry. Usually taught at the senior/graduate level. Prerequisite: Introductory Biochemistry, some physical chemistry helpful.

 

The Second Edition of Principles of Physical Biochemistry provides the most current look at the theory and techniques used in the study of the physical chemistry of biological and biochemical molecules  including discussion of mass spectrometry and single-molecule methods. Leading experts in biophysical chemistry these well-known authors offer unique insights and coverage not available elsewhere.

 

• A true teaching text, this book includes exercises at the end of every chapter along with more expanded solutions to half of the exercises.

 

• Clear writing by experts in the field makes the subject matter understandable.

 

 • NEW - Comprehensive coverage of physical techniques currently used by practicing biochemists, including new chapters dedicated to extended material on mass spectrometry and single-molecule methods.

 

• NEW — A new streamlined organization – Groups all hydrodynamic methods in Chapter 5 and combines Raman spectroscopy with the spectroscopy section.

 

• NEW — Relevant Problems and Applications, approximately 20% of which are new, help students develop critical-thinking skills that they can apply to real biochemical and biological situations facing professionals in the industry.
