From quantum theory to statistical mechanics, the methodologies of
physics are often used to explain some of life's most complex
biological problems. Exploring this challenging yet fascinating
area of study, Molecular and Cellular Biophysics covers both
molecular and cellular structures as well as the biophysical
processes that occur in these structures. Designed for advanced
undergraduate and beginning graduate students in biophysics
courses, this textbook features a quantitative approach that avoids
being too abstract in its presentation. Logically organized from
small-scale (molecular) to large-scale (cellular) systems, the text
first defines life, discussing the scientific controversies between
mechanists and vitalists, the characteristics of living things, and
the evolution of life. It then delves into molecular structures,
including nucleic acids, DNA, RNA, interatomic interactions, and
hydrogen bonds. After looking at these smaller systems, the author
probes the larger cellular structures. He examines the cytoplasm,
the cytoskeleton, chromosomes, mitochondria, motor proteins, and
more. The book concludes with discussions on biophysical processes,
including oxidative phosphorylation, diffusion, bioenergetics,
conformational transitions in proteins, vesicle transport,
subcellular structure formation, and cell division.
